I had an NT Scan at 12w2d this pregnancy. A week later, the results phone call was devastating. Our child is at an increased risk for Trisomy 21 (Downs Syndrome). The risk is 1/200. We've scheduled an appointment with the Perinatologist for Friday in the morning. It's nerve-wracking and I feel like I'm going crazy! We're going to schedule an amniocentesis to get a definitive "Yes" or "No." And, O.M.G. I'm worried.
I'm adopted by my paternal grandmother, so I have no knowledge of my birth mom's family history. For all I know I could have a sister, brother, cousin, aunt, uncle with Downs and not know. It makes me even more nervous, that I could be at this huge risk, and have no way to know for sure.
I'm praying that everything goes okay with the amnio, and that our baby is perfectly okay, and has no defects. I have to have something to look forward to, the day of the results... I guess, if nothing else, at least I find out the sex, right?
