Pregnancy Info HOME

I am 17 .1 weeks today and went to my perinatologist..I was up in the air about having the amnio and up to this point my doctor kept saying no medical reason to do it other than being 35......All screening and blood test test have been normal.....They did a sono a detailed one and checked the baby..The doc measured everything...He said the femur was normal but the brain had 2 echo foci spots something with the BPD....i think it was just the spots............the doc said that increases the risk for downs syndrome....he looked at the nosal bridge alot but didnt mention anything being abnormal there..He just said about the 2 spots..He said that babies have them---but when they are before 20 weeks its an increased sign on DS..DOC also said my first AFP put me at a lower risk but the second was a little higher but still within normal range..But since it was a little higher it increases my risks.......................Well i had the amnio...that was the worst ferw mins of my life..Not horrible but unconfortable.like someone taking blood very rough even though my doc was gentle.............I was so nervous so that didnt help.but its done and i am taking it easy now for 24 hours.......i am going NUTS>>>>>>>> i dont know what to do.............has anyone had this and a heatlhy baby???????.i dont know what to do I dont know if i can take care of a sick baby....we tried so hard to get preg but i have 2 other kids and how would this effect all of us????????? i dont know what to do i am sooo depressed someone help..................
