Spina Bifida---!
So two weeks ago I got the blood test done that tells me the risk of Down syndrome, muscular dystrophy, spina bifida and two other birth defects, as well as the gender. Last week a nurse left me a voice mail telling me my results were negative and the baby is a girl. This morning I woke up to a voicemail from my doctor saying she wanted to go over test results but wasn't in the office today and would call me back, but that I could call her office and speak with one of her nurses. I called the nurse and she told me I was positive for being a carrier of spina bifida and that the recommend my partner get his blood drawn as well as we see a genetic counselor to go over what this could mean for us. She also said the doctor would call me back with more information. Well 6-7 hours went by and the doctor never called me, we called the nurse and she said they would call us sometime tomorrow.
Has anyone been told they were a carrier as well as their partner? If so, what steps did you all have to go through? And was your baby born with it? this is my first pregnancy and I've been taking prenatal vitamins every day since I found out at 6 weeks that I was pregnant and i am currently 15 weeks.
