How likely is it?

Question

Im 18 years old, I'm currently pregnant with my first baby and I'm wondering what are the odds of having a baby with chromosomal disorders? Or any other disorder. Im worried about this im having my first screening appointment and don't know what to expect.

Answer

Thank you everyone, I guess every woman has these concerns.

Answer

Typically chromosomal issues are based on the age of the woman.  Since you are so young, it would be rare.  Unless you have a family history or something.  Good luck!!

Answer

Being young, you have a lesser likelihood of them, but it also more heavily relies on family history. So if anyone in your family has them, the chances change.

Answer

I'm pretty sure that depends a lot on family history! Do chromosomal abnormalities run in you or your partners family? If so, you may have a greater chance of passing that down.
