I dont know if this is common or not. I'm starting to freak out about EVERYTHING now that I am 37 wks. Just wondering if anyone had this happen to their child.

They can't tell you 100% that it wont. All they can do is say it is less likely to have them. Your baby will be fine. Most of the time they catch these things. I have had 3 babies and they are each perfect. Yours will be too. Good luck and Congrats

I really dont want this to scare you,you are 3 weeks away,just enjoy it while you can.I am sure all will be fine.I am 34,this is my first and it did not have anything to do with my age.You and your baby will be fine,get the epidural!!Good luck.

This is not typical. While no test can test you exactly how you're baby will be when it's born. It's highly unlikely in this day and age with technology that tests miss something.
There is a series of tests your doctor performs to insure your baby is safe and healthy.
For eg. The blood test you had checks for abnormalities in your baby. Because mother and baby share the same blood, your babies blood and your blood are seen in screenings.
U/S. are very effective in showing weither a baby has an abnormalities. These can determine a number of things like cleft palate, down syndrome, heart deffects, brain deffects, spinal deffects.
Tests don't show mental abnormalities though. Like autisim etc.
I am sure everything will be fine with your baby. If nothing has been detected by the tests it's likely your child is healthy and safe. If you are that concerned you could suggest and amnio test done. Believe it or not this has crossed every pregnant woman's mind! No need for unnecessary stress at this time.

I wouldn't freak out so much, stress isn't good for you or baby. Besides what if it does have a birth defect, nothing you can do about it now....you're about to be term!! :o) Relax and enjoy these last few weeks, because you'll be going full steam ahead once the baby is here. But no I have not had a sonogram and been told about birth defects either way, i even chose not to do the testing for birth defects, either way I'm keeping MY baby. I mean what are you going to do if you're so far along and get tested and it turns out positive??? Try to relax some.

maximum breech little ones are born wholesome. in spite of the undeniable fact that, they do have a larger danger for particular topics than little ones born head first. delivery defects are extremely more effective commonplace in breech little ones. A beginning ailment is often the reason they have now no longer moved into the striking function in the previous than beginning. In summation, the little you are able to nonetheless be deprived of oxygen in the time of beginning causing a neurological disadvantage, or there might want to be an disadvantage with the toddler to commence with- that the breech function did not reason, in spite of the undeniable fact that honestly the breech function become once delivered on by way of way of it. delivery defects maximum useful account for 3% of breech positions.

dont worry...your baby is more than likely healthy and normal. I havent experienced that but i did know someone who had a sister who's baby was born with chromosome 22 and they had absolutely no idea. The u/s for them came back normal but her afp test in the beginning came back positive. However, they werent alarmed by it b/c you can get a lot of false positives with that test. You just never know. I believe god gives you what you can take care of! good Luck to you and congratulations.
