[quote=Anonymous]My AFP results came back 1:18 chance of downs. At the time, the only option provided was an amino with FISH (FISH comes back in 24 hrs and is considered extremely accurate). The test came back negative for downs but with another genetic anomaly. The research on the anomaly was out dated and I considered terminating and wasting my whole pregnancy being upset and wishing I would miscarry. I'm lucky that the baby was born fine and has had minimal impacts with her genetic makeup. I know this is not the same as downs but I do understand that sick feeling of not knowing and then not knowing what the next steps are. I feel for you as a happy time in your life has made you have internal turmoil.

I do agree with a PP about having a healthy baby and having medical issues down the road (I had this with baby #3). You never know what is to come. I wish you the best on your decision. Educate yourself as much as possible and if needed seek therapy to heal.

If a genetic issue does appear, I love Dr Rosenbaum at Children's Hospital in DC. I've also read that women with these high false positives for DS are more at risk for preeclampsia (which I had but didn't read about the connection until last year). GL[/quote]
