High risk 17q.12

Hi there all,

Never thought I would be posting on a sub like this, but here I’m. My girlfriend is 13 weeks pregnant and we took at NIPT test some time ago. The results took long and we grew a but scared. Sadly our fears came true. They told us that they spotted a micro deletion on 17q, to be precise 17q.12 is likely.

We are now in a time of uncertainty and stress. My girlfriend’s blood is being checked right now, but the babies cells and the results will take weeks from now.

Sadly our dr couldn’t give us any chances on the possibilities for false positive, since this deletion is uncommon. I’m hoping that people here can share their experience and hopefully can offer some level of comfort.
