An Early Christmas Present!

I just received the results from my first trimester screening:

My age related risk prior to screening for Down's was 1 in 164. After the screening, my risk is actually 1 in 3261!!!!

My age related risk prior to screening for Trisomy 13 and 18 was 1 in 295. After the screening, my risk is actually 1 in 4561!!!!

What a relief. I am so thankful that things are progressing so well (other than the constant nausea and lack of any sort of appetite). My husband and I have truly been so incredibly blessed thus far and I couldn't be more appreciative of all of the blessings that have been bestowed upon us.

    YAY!!!! I am so glad your pregnancy is going well! I finally got a chance to check back in with you today, I have had a busy time since my last comment (11/12/09). I am now 12DPET and still have 5 more days to go until my beta (thanks Christmas!!!). Going back and reading your posts somehow has reduced my random panic attacks that are clearly a result of PITS (love that acronym, well put).

    Although I have never met you, but I have a strong feeling that you are going to be (already are) are great Mom! Still keeping you in my prayers...

    BOB - YAY!!!! Congratulations!!! Hang in there w/ the PG symptoms - at the very least, they're a sign of reassurance that you're going to have a strong PG. For the nausea, just find what you can to relieve it. For me, fruit, fruit, fruit, fruit, fruit. Everything else turned my stomach. Hard candy helped too, though, and was good to have in a pinch. Otherwise, rest up and relax and enjoy being preggers!!
