I had a specialist appt. a couple weeks ago to get blood drawn to test for Down Syndrome and then they will take more blood on March 15th. Its a 2 part test and I cannot wait for the results! The specialists also did an ultrasound to see if the baby was presenting any features that would raise a red flag. The ultrasound tech said that everything was clear as far as her part goes, but to remember that the blood test has to come back to confirm that Down Syndrome can be ruled out.
The tech also looked for signs of Pierre Robin and said at this early stage the jaw looks good, but we'll keep monitoring it as the baby developes and compare unltrasounds etc. It will be very difficult for them to tell if the baby has a cleft or not, but they will try to do some scans closer to delivery time.
I am also being followed to make sure if I get Cholestasis again that it is detected early and the baby is induced. I am thinking that it might be a be a good thing if I get it because then we can schedule a date and see if Eric can try to make it home in time for the birth...that's something for me to deal with later I suppose.
