I got the call today for the final results of the CVS test, and all is well with both of the babies. What a relief! With the thousands of things they look at, we were expecting some kind of abnormality. Thank god they could do a “rush” on the major results (trisomy 21, 18 and 13). I don’t think I could’ve waited this long!!!! We learned a lot about the chromasomes that make up our bodies. Trisomy 21 is down’s syndrome, and it means that out of our 23 pairs of chromasomes, the 21st pair has an extra one, given from either parent (I think it’s usually the mother). Trisomy 18 and 13 are the same thing except with the 18th and 13th pairs. Unfortunately for those babies, they do not survive more than a few days after birth if they are not stillborn. It was really cool to learn about the procedure, I wish I could visit the lab to see it in action. It’s amazing what they can do nowadays!
