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?

It depends upon which test or test result she actually had. You said that you believed she had had a quad marker. In my earlier post, I posted what they look for in a quad screen, that is AFP, estriol, hCG and Inhibin.

Did she speak with her physician at all or was it a nurse giving her bad news about the blood test results?
