My husband put his arm around me, holding me close, trying to calm my nerves. As we waited for the doctor to come in with the results that could change our lives.

The door clicked as it opened when the doctor walked in.

“Sorry to keep you waiting,” he apologized. “The amnio shows the baby is perfectly healthy. No abnormalities. “

“But the bloodtest?” I started.

“Those tests are not 100% accurate and usually need further testing for a diagnosis, “ he explained.

My husband and I looked at eachother, then melted into eachothers arms. Finally we could let go of all the worry of the last several days. We could enjoy this pregnancy again.

We thanked the doctor and went home. We were so grateful. Smiles on our faces for the entire ride home. I was so happy! Full of love and excitement for our future.
