Hello everyone,
I am new here and am looking for your help.
I am 19 weeks pregnant and recieved the heartbreaking news yesterday, that my AFP tests show that there is a 1 in 71 chance (high risk) of me having a baby with Downs Syndrome.
These tests are often wrong, but the only sure way after this is amniocentosis which has a risk of losing the baby altogether (miscarriage).
I do believe that prayers can do miracles. Please pray that my results are false and the baby I am carrying is fine and healthy. I really need your prayers, as I cannot share this with anyone right now.
I am so scared. I am at work, but cannot get any work done. I don't even want to look at my friends since I am sure to break down and start crying at the office. If I tell my mom, she will be even more worried than me for the next 5 months.
Waiting for your heartfelt prayers - anxious mom.
