Just looking for some relief
Hello everyone, I am glad to have found this reddit thread.
3 days ago, we found out on our first trimester screening that our baby has a 1 in 5 or 20% chance of having DS. I didn’t quite understand everything they were telling me then, and it took a day for me to let it all sinked in.
the results were 1.6 mm for the nuchal transparency
nasal bone absent/hypoplastic
Free beta HCG 63.52 IU/I, MoM 1.550
PAPP-A 0.422 IU/1, MoM 0.319
during our ultrasound, baby‘s hand was mostly in its face and they had a hard time viewing the nasal bone because of it, the baby’s position made it also hard for them to get a clear view.
about me, I am 32 yrs old, non smoking, non drinker and living a relatively healthy lifestyle. As well as my husband. We have 2 perfectly healthy daughters, 6 and 2. I also have graves disease but I am currently not taking medication as my T3 and T4 levels are normal.
during my first pregnancy, I had velamentous cord insertion, posterior placenta. and on my second I had preterm contractions around 18 weeks. I gave birth through c-section for both.
My husband and I talked about what is the next step for us, we’ve decided to wait for the 20 week anatomy scan to see if anything changes in our odds then we will take the NIPT then.
I am just here looking for success stories of having false positive results in the first trimester screening to feel some kind of relief from all of these…
thank you for reading.
