  positive expanded afp screening Reply Contact you guys i know its been a while since i posted on here, matter of fact ive only posted once, but right now im on here asking for your prayers i just got a phone call from my doctor saying that i screened positive on my expanded afp screening test for down syndrome, im so nervous, i have a son that i love more than anything that has autism, i would just be heart broked if my new baby was also special needs. please pray for me, i am so scared. they said the ultrasound didnt detect anything but im still so nervous, i will be having more test soon, thanks for taking the time to read this and let me vent cause i dont know who else to talk to about this, nobody really wanted me to have another baby except the father, so with this it just seems worse when i tell the news

So I'm praying for you & hoping that yours will be ok too!!!

  Re: positive expanded afp screening Reply Contact I went through the same thing. Although you must be more brave about the amnio because I thought it hurt so bad. It didn't help that it put me into contractions either. They said my chances for Down Syndrome were 1 in 14 and I was so nervous about it. I think I cried like everyday and prayed everday that they were wrong. Turns out, my baby boy is perfectly healthy, he is just small for howfar along I am.
