Integrated screening results

... well that was fast!  My second blood draw was yesterday so I didn't expect results until next Tues, but the genetic counselor just called me - everything is normal! :)  Of course I immediately started to cry when I got that news. :)

In summary:

• Risk of Down's Syndrome (based on my age) went from 1 in 180 prior to the screen to 1 in 290
• Risk of neural tube defects is less than 1 in 10,000
• Risk of Trisomy 18 is less than 1 in10,000

So... most likely we won't need to worry about any of those things - HOORAY!!! :)

Wonderful news for a Happy New Year I think!

Now if my round ligament pain would simmer down a bit... ;)

If  I don't post again before Fri - I wish you all the happiest New Year yet!!!
