I'm doing pretty well for being pregnant. I got my NT results today ( which is a screening for genetic problems ) and the results were very good. At my age I have 1:230 risk for Downs, and my results were 1: 20,000 after the testing. Now I can move onto worrying about other non-genetic problems!
Went out to the companystore today and almost had a PTSD feeling or something. Feeling like I need to work except A) pregnant, B) toddler at home. So how?
Getting excited for Santa to come on the 25th and make my girl happy - this is the peak year I think, because mostly by 5 you start to have some logical doubt about the whole sleigh-whole world thing.
It's so stressful! I'm 36 now, and I pondered whether to do the amnio. I decided I'll see how the Nuchal Fold testing, and then the Level II ultrasound look. The nuchal fold was great, like 1: 20,000 for Downs, 1:5,000 for Trisomy 18 and similar for 13. I go for the Level II the earliest day possible, and if something looks weird I'll go directly for an amnio.
I was 37 when I had Jet, and I wasn't offered a nuchal fold, and the amnio couldn't really be done until week 20 and that's SO far along... I'm so glad to know that there's now at least something available to clarify the odds a little. Sounds like you'll be fine with the new odds, and I know, intimately, how nice it is to at least know the odds are That Much better.
