Amniocentisis?
Posted: 10-27-07 19:00pm

I just had my amnio done this past Wed. and they told me that my results will be in in 10-14 days. Has anyone else here had this test done? If so did any of you get your results sooner and when did you get them? I'm anxious about knowing for sure what's going on and I'm looking for maybe some hope of getting my results back even a day sooner. Thanks!

I had my results within a week. It's hard not to be anxious when you are waiting for them to come back.

I had one done because I was 35 when I was pregnant with Jaylon. That is on the low end of "advanced maternal age", so the chances were higher that there may be problems.
When I went in for the ultrasound prior to the test they do all kinds of measurments and he had no signs of downs or other birth defects so technically I didn't have to have it but chose to just to ease my own mind.

Why did you have to have it done?

I'm 25, 26 in a month.So maternal age isn't the issue. I've had 2 detailed scans. The 2nd one was a follow up.I've had severel signs of chromosomal abnormalities. Th babys growth has went from 2 weeks behind to 6 weeks behind. The head is also growng 3 weeks ahead of the bdy. So they are unsure if it's cromosomal, genetics, my placenta not supporting the baby enough, or if I have an infection in my uterus. The test will tell them for sure if it's chromosomal, genetic, or infection. They need to know for sure in order to know how to safely finish treating the pregnancy.

Well good luck! Pregnancy is so stressful from beginning to end, but then once the baby is here you have even more to stress about. Smile
