freaking out, just a little

[JennyCoulon]

I had an amnio but it was right before I delivered b/c they did an ultrasound and say still floating in the amniotic fluid. I was nervous but it didn't hurt, maybe I was just trying not to think about it and I was also having contractions at the same time. Come to find out that in an earlier ultrasound it looks as though there may have been a bowel block starting to form. The stuff floating around was the block taking care of it's self. Someone was truly watching out for us since we went though the meconium ilas, bowel surgery, reconnect, 3 months in the hospital etc. If you don't want to have it done and it isn't going to change your mind I wouldn't do it. Hope all goes well.

I would say that if you are scared and you want to cancel, then cancel. Dyza was right that they can still watch for bowel obstructions. Knowing that you already have one child with CF should be enough for them to want to watch for it!

I have CF myself and when we found out that I was pregnant, I was first told to abort the baby (due to my health and the possibility that they baby would have CF) and I said no way! They then suggested an amnio to see if the baby had CF and once they told me of the possibility of miscarriage I said no way to that too. I had plenty of ultrasounds to keep and eye on the baby so if there was anything wrong, they would see it. I didn't think that I needed to risk losing the baby for something that I would find out when he was born. I saw no need for the amnio when I knew they could follow him in other ways and that I was going to keep him no matter what.

Hi, I was in your place almost 3 years ago (boy time flies!) when I was pg with my son. I had amnio done at 15 weeks by a geneticist who does more than 300 a year. She had only had 1 or 2 losses in her past year (at that time) and wasn't sure they were from the amnio. I think you should check with your doctor on his/her loss rates. I can understand wanting to know ahead, I either wanted relief or to find out that my feelings were justified and be able to get prepared. Sending hugs for you!

Congrats on the pregnancy!

Not to scare you, but I had a CVS done when I was 11 weeks pregnant. Unfortunately, I got an infection from the CVS, which attacked my placenta, causing me to miscarry our little girl Rylie at 20 weeks of pregnancy. I believe from your post you had the procedure done today, so I'm sure my advice is getting to you too late. But know that the risk for miscarrying is very, very low with this procedure, but there is always that chance of it happening. If you decided to have it done, just watch for signs of infection, such as low back pain and severe nausea/vomitting, which is what I began experiencing about 3 weeks after the procedure. I then began spotting too. I went to the doc almost everyday from that point on until the miscarriage, but they were perplexed as to what was going on with me. They checked me for kidney stones, UTI, and everything else under the sun. In actuality what was happening was my placenta was detaching, causing the back pain and spotting. They didn't know about the infection of the placenta until after I delivered Rylie and they sent the placenta in for testing. The docs told me that if they would have caught the infection early enough, they could have most likely prevented the miscarriage by putting me on antibiotics. To anyone else reading this post, I would advise AGAINST a CVS, unless you are thinking about aborting the pregnancy. And by the way, our daughter did not have CF, she was just a carrier of the gene. I kick myself everyday for having had the procedure done, since I planned on having the baby whether or not she had CF. Good luck to you and I hope it went well. You will be in my prayers.
