Hi, I also am pregnant and my quad screen came back a 1:35 chance for trisomy 18. The only way to know for sure if your baby has this condition is an amnio. Trisomy 18 is considered "incompatible with life"...90% of babies don't even make it to birth--they die within the womb. 95% don't make it to their first birthdays. I am also stressed out and had my amnio yesterday; i figure what happens will happen though. There is a trisomysupport organization online. Just type this in on yahoo--it has been a life saver to me during this time.
I pray that your baby is ok.

I had the same test done around the same time and mine came back positive for down syndrome, I too was extremely petrified . my husband and I were sent to get an ultrasound . The doc said every thing looked normal but there's always a 50% chance that the baby could come out with something wrong. They asked if I wanted an amniocentesis and I refused because that more often can cause a miscarriage. We had our daughter and everything was perfect. Don't be worried unless they know 100% that somethings wrong trust that everything will turn out just fine. And no matter how your child turns out that's your child, you'll love it anyway. Good Luck I send many blessings your way.

Try not to worry about it. I had the same thing happen and it was a false positive. Everything came back fine the second time they did the test and they had also sent me to a high tech ultrasound too and all was fine. They tried to ask me if i wanted counseling and tried to talk to me about abortion, etc...I just ignored them, told them to redo the test and it came back fine.

The tests are not accurate, that's why I chose to skip the test. Don't be worried right now, they will do a follow up test.

it is something that your pal desires to be discussing along with her dr. there are a fabulous style of categories of genetic issues. some minimum, some are deadly. there is not any thank you to respond to this from the records you have presented
