Anxiously waiting my amnio appointment, stressing about low Papp A and working shift everyday it’s a bit too much right now!
I feel so overwhelmed these days just need to get it off my chest. A couple weeks ago doctor told me blood tests were positive for downs. My risk was a 1:21 chance. I am currently 15 weeks. I need to know, I wonder if this is the reason why the other two pregnancies ended in miscarriage did the chromosomes just not work together?? I scheduled an amnio and it is on April 6th. On top of that the genetics counsellor also told me my PAPP A was low. Regardless of the downs outcome this could all lead to a series of other complications. So as I sit and wait and try not to worry I wonder, is the baby still alive since my last appt. low Papp a can lead to death, so many other things running through my mind. Now with covid, they don’t know how it affects pregnant women and fetuses, I still work a full time job, so I feel more exposed every day. The health official for Alberta just announced they are only doing diagnostic labs for emergencies only. I am considered high risk but am I an emergency? Will I be able to receive the answers and care that I need for this pregnancy with doctors and clinics cancelling appointments. Am I important enough? I just had enough and cried the other day at work. It’s super hard to stay positive. Ugh sorry vent over.
