But her plan is thrown a curve ball after she discovers she has only a million-to-one chance of getting pregnant. Undaunted, the driven Kate allows South Philly working girl Angie Ostrowiski to become her unlikely surrogate. Simple enough … After learning from the steely head of their surrogacy center that Angie is pregnant, Kate goes into precision nesting mode: reading childcare books, baby-proofing the apartment and researching top pre-schools. But the executive’s well-organized strategy is turned upside down when her Baby Mama shows up at her doorstep with no place to live. An unstoppable force meets an immovable object as structured Kate tries to turn vibrant Angie into the perfect expectant mom. In a battle of wills, they will struggle their way through preparation for the baby’s arrival. And in the middle of this tug-of-war, they’ll discover two kinds of family: the one you’re born to and the one you make. |

Worried Mama: Has anyone been told their baby had a risk of Down Syndrome based on the Nuchal Fold measurement?
At about 11 weeks gestational, my nugget had a level 2 ultrasound, when her Nuchal fold measured at 3mm, which doctors first explained put her in the 95th percentile for Down’s. They followed up with a blood test from me, which was normal and greatly lowered her risk. She then had an anatomy scan at 18Wks, and a fetal Echo at 20Wks, all which turned out completely normal, giving her a final risk of 1 in 300 (5%chance) of having down’s. I am only 20 yrs old, and my husband and I have no history of any chromosomal abnormalities in our families. I refused an amnio because of the small risk of miscarriage that comes with it, (I work with children who have special needs, so we do not feel there is any point in risking a miscarriage when we will take her how God gives her) however, you never think these things will happen to you, and although I am trying to keep my faith in God, and embrace all the good signs pointing to no down’s, I am still very worried. I was wondering if anyone has been through this or is going through it!? Have any mamas been told their baby might have down’s, only to have a perfectly healthy baby? Please lend your support! Thanks!
I was 41 and pregnant. During my first checkup my Obgyn let me know that because of my age there was a high risk (no % given). Basically I was going to have the baby anyway and so we did not do any testing (it is not the law nor the norm here). It weighed heavily on my mind for the entire pregnancy… and in particular when the doc said that the baby was large and sent me for testing for gestational diabetes.
I prayed a lot… more than I did in years. My baby at 11 weeks seems perfectly healthy now, thank God! I also firmly believe that God does not give us anything that we cannot handle and so I know that whatever happens with your pregnancy, you will have the strength and grace to handle it.

My friend was told this and she had to go every 2 weeks for ultrasounds. She is now 35 weeks pregnant but the doctors have said based on all the ultrasounds they have no reason to believe he is anything but a perfectly healthy baby boy with no risk of having downs. She obviously wont know for sure until he is born, but she saw many specialists who say he is just fine. Either way though she is happy to be blessed with a baby.

Those tests are notoriously inaccurate. A friend was told her son might have Down syndrome based on the nuchal fold measurement; he doesn’t. My husband’s aunt had all the normal tests run during her pregnancy and was told everything was normal; her 16 year old was born with Down syndrome and several other birth defects.
Try not to worry too much.

I had loads of scans with my last child and all the scans said she was fine except her growth was a little under average. It turns out she has several defects and will never be "normal". Scans can go both ways, its not worth worring about. Unless you have amnio youll just have to wait until the birth to find out.
By the way, down syndrome is not the end of the word. Its alot better that some of the other trisomys.
