Hey cuz. You need to ask exactly what an increased risk means. So many of these tests come backBack pain - low Back strain treatment like that, and the reality is, most of the time everything is just fine. In all honesty amnio is the only way to know for sure, but right now the best thing for you to do is find out exactly what they mean by "increased risk". It could mean 1 in 100 or 1 in 10, know what I mean? Then decide whether or not you want to proceed with amnio. I am going to call you right now. Love you hon, and try not to worry ok. I'm sure all is fine.
I was preganant until two weeks ago, lost our son at 18 weeks. I screened for the test and all came back normal and fine, was worried, but made the decision of keeping the baby if anything was wrong as I know these special babies grow up happy and learn to live productive lives. We lost the the baby at almost five months pregnant and still don't know why.(probable abnormality) I am not sure if this is the information you wanted, but I understand the constant worry and wanted to be honest with you. Please don't hesitate to contact me if need be, I am here for you , I am sure everything is fine... : )
