I may have a lot of hope for the future-miscarriage results
I just found out that I miscarried a baby girl. She was too young to know by looking but the genetics cane back so we found out that she was a girl and that she most likely miscarried because she had downs. My high risk OB said that my lupus put me at a slightly higher chance at having a baby with downs (like 2% chance instead of the usual not a full percent chance). Dr. Said that most downs babies are not born living so even though I tested positive for lupus coagulation that doesn’t guarantee that I actually had any lupus involvement with my pregnancy- diagnosis comes from 2 positive tests 12 weeks apart. And as bad as it sounds it gives me some relief that it wasn’t lupus because I had cheated on some of the foods I don’t normally eat because of lupus because the morning sickness was so bad and I felt so guilty because what if that caused it or at least contributed. Now that I know it was most likely Down’s syndrome at least I know there was nothing that could have been done to prevent the miscarriage and means I might very well carry to term and we may have just won a shitty genetic lottery twice (our first miscarriage was not tested but we were told that the early miscarriage was likely a genetic mess up as well)
