Hello moms,

First-time mom to-be here... I am 9 weeks and 2 days pregnant and could really use some support. In a couple weeks, I will get Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS) testing to test my baby for holt oram/mutation in TBX5 gene. My husband has this, so there is a 50% chance the gene is inherited and a 50% chance the gene is not inherited.

I am trying to be positive but sometimes the fears creep in and I feel nervous and worried 😥Please share your stories about happy endings and good outcomes here for anyone who has been through a similar test, it is really helpful.

Angela
