After passing the quad test, the 20w u/s showed a dialation of the 4th ventricle (dandy walker varient). We had an amnio done which revealed Trisomy 13, a fatal genetic abnormality. With a very, very heavy heart, we terminated the pg @ 23w.<BR/><BR/>Sometimes abnormalities are an indication of a genetic abnormality, and some of them are fatal. That's not to say the same will happen with your daughter, I just want you to be prepared for every situation. Too often things don't just "turn out alright." Sometimes babies die. I was so devastated and so completely blindsided that that could even be a possibility, I wouldn't want someone else to be in that position.<BR/><BR/>Mine was a rare situation, so you have a lot to be hopeful for. I just want you to be prepared for the possibilities.<BR/><BR/>Best of luck to you and your baby girls.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22481322.post-74066655146989356722007-02-24T20:29:00.000-05:002007-02-24T20:29:00.000-05:00Isn't is amazing how much you can love them before...Isn't is amazing how much you can love them before they are even born?! Wait till you see them...it is a feeling that there aren't even words for! I am glad to read you are feeling positive. I was frightened so many times by what the doctors told me during my pregnancies and the boys ended up being absolutely fine. Medicine is still alot of maybes and guesses, follow your heart :)OHNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03856294075428012923noreply@blogger.com
