2nd trimester screening results were "negative."
- Chance for presence of down syndrome (trisomy 21) remain 1 in 10,000, just as reported at 1st trimester screening.
- Chance of presence of trisomy 18 also remain at 1 in 10,000.
- Neural Tube defect chances are 1 in 1100. I haven't done my homework on NTD, but I am thinking this is about an average result. But, I'll be looking more into this tonight.

Yay!! I'm still waiting for my results. Hope they're as good as yours. :)
I can't believe you're almost 20 weeks!!
I got mine today and they're the same as yours! Although they didn't mention neural tube defects... I'll assume that one's ok too, for sanity's sake.
Wow! All of this is sooo exciting...boobs, bums, bellys...and, Oh yeah, a little um-b-bay!
Congratulations and keep loving each other, snuggling, and waiting for the lucky baby to enter screaming!
I'm not one for a lot of baby advice, but what I can offer here is...no names that lend themselves mto life-long silly nicknames (can't give examples, b/c someone reading may have one...you know who you are...), and when the baby is born, until about age 17 or so...no 35...no, as long as they let you...hold them everyday! The old cliche' about getting big so fast is too true. You rock them to sleep everynight and then, you wish they could sit on your lap, but they are taller than you are and it looks really silly!
Hold that baby now through your belly and don't let it go when it comes out, until Pre-K!
XO,
Laura
