Went to the doctor last Wednesday for blood work. We did what is called a Quad Screening to test the percentage that the baby could have Down Syndrome. Since my brother has it, I have a slightly higher risk at having a baby with Downs. They told me it would be a week before the test results came back. Now I really have not been worrying about this. The doctor wanted me to go to a high risk OB to have all these test, but those are very expensive and Downs is not life threatening nor if I was having a Downs baby would I terminate the pregnancy. Well the nurse called me on Friday and said the chances of us having a Downs baby was very low. While I was not worried, I am happy that the baby is healthy, which is what every parent wants.
We go in on Friday, March 4th to see what the sex of the baby is. Will update then!
