[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have to also be prepared for the possibility of having a special needs child.[/quote]

While that is always the case with any pregnancy, OP indicates that the embryo has been tested, which eliminates much concern.[/quote]

This might be the dumbest thing I have ever read.  [/quote]

I think the availability of so much prenatal testing has created the false impression that we can detect everything in advance.[/quote]

This is anecdotal but my gf received a positive lab report around 5 months saying her son had Down’s syndrome. She proceeded with pregnancy anyway and gave birth to a son, without Down’s syndrome, at 39 weeks. The whole experience was traumatizing for her and she was livid with her obgyn after the fact but said they are going off lab ranges and depending on research being used these numbers can vary. She also has PhD in laboratory medicine so seemed to understand how this can happen better than I do as nonmedical person. Anyway, I think important to note that science is only as good as the research and the research varies and evolves. Testing is amazing and also it is not perfect and doesn’t carry complete guarantees. [/quote]
Was this one of the cell-free tests or did she do amnio/CVS?[/quote]

PP here. I don’t know which one her OB conducted. [/quote]
