Re: 14 Week Check Up

I did NOT do the triple or quad marker testing because of the high false

positive and I am ssoo glad I did not. I know others who have it done and if

they

suspect a positive, even though it could be false, it ruins the enjoyment of

the pregnancy because now they are stressed. I think it is all a personal

opinion but if a person is not terminating a pregnancy then I see no reason to

do

it. Just my opinion though. I am glad you ahd a nice appt

My experience with the AFP test was bad with the first pg. It said that my

daughter had Spina Bifida and so we went and had the amnio and everything.

While stressed out!! She doesn't have Spina Bifida. I would have loved her no

matter what. But my husband and I thought that we should be as prepared as we

can be.

With this pg. I had it done again. I was not going to. But with twins my dr,

husband and I agreed to know what is to come. Well I was expecting it to come

back with something wrong. It didn't. It came back totally normal. so I am

glad that I had it done this time. With twins, I think my worrying has doubled

also. So it was a very nice thing to have this confirmed.

Whatever you do will be right for you and your family. I do know that my Dr.

said that I did not have to have the amnio this time. I could have a 3d or 4d

U/S to see something. So that is something that I would talk to your Dr. about

too.
