Q: Adnormal Quad Result- Please give me any information.

I had the quad testing done at 16 weeks and everything came back negative except the Trisomy 18. My result was 1/23. I am going crazy. I have an antamony scan on Monday and then a possible aminosintisis. I have read this is really rare and may lead to either a still born or the baby not making it after delivery. Has anyone had this experience or know someone? I had an ultrasound done at 13 weeks and the baby looked perfect. I check the heart beat every other day and its always high- 160 and higher. Any of these things a good sign?

So sorry you have to wait through this hon. I know it's not easy to wait and not know what to expect. Try to be positive. My cousin's twins came back positive for Down's Syndrome and now there are here and perfect. *Luck and Prayers*

All I can say is try not to worry. My doctor also said that a lot of times those tests have false information and babies end up just fine. If the scan does show an abnormality, just remember that there are women who have been through this and can help you through the difficult time. Best of luck to you on Monday.

I am getting quad testing done tomorrow as well..from what I have read it only shows the risk of the baby having something abnormal not that it defiantly does..unless you're family has problems with any of the disorders that is tested for in all likely hood you're baby is fine. My doctor said that many times a baby that had off numbers during a quad test have come out completely fine and normal..and that those test can be right some times but are wrong alot too. so unless you're family as a history of down syndrome or any neural tube defects I would try to stay calm and keep positive thoughts until Monday. You're babies heart beat is good, ultrasound at 13 weeks was good..and those are two very positives signs that you more than likely have a healthy baby...Keep as positive as you can, I will be thinking about you and praying for normal results from you're anatomy scan.
