This past weekend I had some blood work done to check several risks for the baby and me. Today I received two calls from the doctor's office and after work called them back. The results had come in.
I tested negative for gestational diabetes and the nugget tested low risk for down syndrome. I did however test as a high risk for trisonomy 18. Not even sure if that is how you spell it. After freaking out a bit I googled the disease. It is closely related to downs but unfortunately most babies don't make it to birth. Most that do die within the first week.I'm trying not to freak out but it is hard.
I am being referred to a genetic counselor who will do more testing and hopefully that will be done sooner rather than later. On a positive note, a lot of people often get false positives on this test so fingers crossed!
Please keep nugget in your thoughts. Good mojo only :)
On another note: happy 28th birthday to me. Thank you to everyone for the lovely wishes.
