Just a few more details, for those of you who are interested. Our baby is due June 26th. Apparently it did NOT want to miss Snowbird! I had a consultation and ultrasound today done by a maternal fetal medicine specialist, which is basically a doctor with more training in dealing with pregnancy problems and birth defects.
Our baby appears to be absolutely, perfectly normal. In fact, based on the stats for my age combined with the blood test and ultrasound results, this baby has less chance of Down's syndrome than a baby of an average 22 year old woman. Yes, that does make me feel younger to say that!!! The chance of a neural tube defect with this baby is 1 in 10,000. So, other than the risk of blood clots, which we are treating with the heparin, this baby looks beautifully normal!!!
