Awwww thanks, everyone!! This pregnancy was such a crazy ride from beginning to end. First, talk about HUGE surprise. All preliminary tests showed a "healthy baby"... But then I took a test called Panorama... It's a blood test that looks for chromosomal problems in the baby. My test results came back "positive" that there was a 98% chance that my baby would have Trisomy 13 which is fatal, and babies with this condition have severe deformities and rarely survive birth. We were so devastated. But every ultrasound showed that Julian was just fine. Specialist was puzzled... The panorama test isn't a diagnostic test, but the company claims that it's just as good as a diagnostic test. We didn't enjoy the pregnancy at all... I was so stressed the entire time. We were told "can't see anything on the ultrasound, but that doesn't mean there isn't anything wrong with the baby... So when the moment came to deliver my sweet little one, we were scared to death. We just didn't "know"... But he's fine. ❤️ Now we can breathe and celebrate. We are just so glad that he's here.

My test results came back "positive" that there was a 98% chance that my baby would have Trisomy 13 which is fatal, and babies with this condition have severe deformities and rarely survive birth. How wonderful that Julian is healthy. I'm sorry that you had to go through all that worry and could not enjoy the pregnancy, you must have been beside yourself. It's scary hearing stories like this, especially since there could be people who would choose to end a pregnancy with such a diagnosis.

It wouldn't surprise me if some women have chosen to end perfectly healthy pregnancies based off of a faulty blood test that was never meant to be diagnostic to begin with.
