Just got a call from the doctor.
Got our results back from Quad screening test.
Normal results for my age is 1 in 714.
My results: 1 in 77.
This may not mean anything. We are just at an increased risk for baby with birth defects for someone at my age. Many factors can cause such a result.
Will find out more at upcoming ultrasound on July 7. (ie. whether we need to do an amniocentises, if the perinatologist finds any birth defects etc.).
I'm blessed. This baby is blessed. This baby will be Healthy.
I'm shocked.
Will update more when I know more.
Looks like I'm cancelling a gender reveal party....
*** edit, the BIG u/s appt has been moved up to next week Tuesday, 6/23. So we'll find out more then. I'm reading a lot (online) about people having false positives (told they had high risks, only to have a healthy baby), so that's buoying my hope. I know I need to rely on the Lord. I'll keep you all posted, and thanks for your concern. =)
B- is that the nuchal test? aren't they notoriously bad with false positives? I am praying for you, you are blessed. geez, can't catch a break for stressfree....sending you hugs and prayers.
ReplyDeleteI will keep you and your baby in my thoughts and prayers. Please keep us updated. x
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts and prayers go out to you and this child. I pray the Lord will give you comfort and peace in the next few weeks as you anticipate the next appointment. God bless!

ReplyDeleteI can imagine how stressful this must be for you. *hugs to you* Your baby is a miracle and the good Lord doesn't give any of us more than we can handle. Hang in there!!! Let me know if you need anything.
I'm so sorry you are getting this stressful news :( I know that it seems scary, but as you said - it may not mean anything, and that is really true. Your baby has a very good chance of being healthy. I am thinking positive thoughts for you. I'm so sorry you had to get this news.
ReplyDeleteStay positive. Your baby will be healthy. God got it.
ReplyDeleteOh sweetie, I know this must be pretty stressful. 6/23 is right aroud the corner. I know two very close little ones (my neice is one of them) and their quads were positive and they are just fine. It is a wierd test and you have an excellent chance of it being just a fluke false positive. Follow what your heart and you baby are telling you....it is all you can trust for a while.
ReplyDeleteBMoM I am so sure everything will be perfect with baby! I cant believe your BIG US is just next week! I'm so jealous...but I know it's with good reason that you are getting it early :) I'm sure you will have a GREAT report!!!
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry you have received news like this and hope it turns out to be false. Because it very well could be. I will pray and pray some more.
