So I woke this morning to a voicemail from my doctor.  When I returned her call, she said my blood work from the day of my ultrasound came back showing that I now have an increased risk of the baby having Down Syndrome.  It went from 1 in 233, to a 1 in 19 chance.  She's referring me over to the ultrasound specialist doctors over at the hospital and I have to go have a special ultrasound so they can look and see if anything looks like down syndrome... and probably have an amniocentesis.  For those of you who don't know what an amnio is, it's when they take a long needle and stick it in your belly to sample a bit of the amniotic fluid around the baby.  This will tell them for sure if the baby has downs, but it also comes with a risk of causing miscarriage.

So now I am sitting here trying not to totally freak out...waiting for the hospital to call me for the appointment. 

Light a candle, say a prayer, send good juju... anything, please?

Let's look at it in another light, Lucy--

You have a 95% chance of nothing wrong.

Lucy, I know its hard to keep calm while you wait for results but consider that in your case, if you freak, the baby freaks. It's just almost a week before you those results, tomorrow it will be a week, so on and so forth. Like Wench said, there is a bigger chance nothing is wrong!

Lucy,

I am so sorry about all of this for you. I do hope that you and the baby will be fine through everything.  I can't imagine what you are going through, but know this, you have a friend here if you ever need to  talk just a phone call away. Just keep positive about it all. Good Mojo coming your way dear. Prayers to you both.
