Actually, it says a lot if you're the interested couple or a doctor.

If she has low levels of hCG, it might indicate a miscalculation of the date of her pregnancy, a miscarriage, a blighted ovum or an ectopic pregancy.

If she had high levels of hCG, it might mean that there was a miscalculation of the date of her pregnancy dating, a molar pregnancy or a miscarriage.

Yeah, I read all of that. But none of it seems to apply. She was told that it involves a birth defect that would be fatal. The only one that comes close to that is a molar pregnancy. But we have ultrasounds from very early on with a healthy baby that even seems to wave at the camera. The molar pregnancy sounds like something more early on. What do you think?
