Re: Risk of DS From: Lisa (anonymous@obgyn.net) Mon, 30 Apr 2001 22:59:54 -0500 Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Crista: "Re: 3 questions please--Thank YOU!!!!

Montgomery, MD: "Re: HELP !!!!!! 12 wks PG / sinus &bladder infection -" Maybe in reply to: anonymous@obgyn.net: "Risk of DS" Hi, I wanted to share my experience with the AFP. I had a 1 in 180 chance of having a baby with DS and then after the U/S showed I was a HALF of week less far along,they lowered my chances to 1 in 500. So that short of time can make a difference. She was "normal". However,21 months ago gave birth to a baby boy, named Alex, who does have DS. I just want to reassure you, that although the odds are your child is "normal"..that DS is not something to be terrified of. I understand your fears, as I too was scared, but he is the most precious little boy I could ever imagine! SO ADORABLE :) And he is just like any other baby, just takes a little longer to reach milestones. I cannot imagine life without him :) Please don't let anyone pressure you into an amnio..as there are very real risks involved. Even if the odds of losing the baby are "only" 1 in 200..if you are that one, odds mean nothing. Besides..why risk your baby's life just to "know" Good luck, Lisa Next message: Crista: "Re: 3 questions please--Thank YOU!!!! Lynn D. Montgomery, MD" Previous message: Lynn D.
