[quote=Anonymous]LJ - I'm sorry about the messed up lab orders and the uncertainty of your results.

I too decided to go ahead and take the NT scan without thinking twice about it (mainly so I could see the baby with the ultrasound) but never once did I think...well, what if the results aren't to my favor?  At my last visit, my OB explained the AFP screening (to screen for spina bifida) and asked if I wanted to go forward with it.  Without blinking an eye, I just said yes.  Luckily, they weren't able to draw my blood right then and there and I ended up having a few days to think it over.  During that time, I realized that there's really little to no chance that I would terminate this pregnancy so why even do the testing?  If I were to get unfavorable results, I will just worry myself even more than I already am for the rest of the pregnancy.  So I decided to just opt out of the AFP and some other testing (Iforget what it was for) at my 20 week visit.

I hope that your retest will give you more reassurance.  Keep us posted!
