What wonderful news! Yes the test they did was to take a measurement of the back of the baby's neck and the blood they take is for the same thing. This test will give you an idea of your chances of having a baby with down syndome. The test only measures your chances it does not tell you yes or no. You should have the results of that test back in a week, and they can go over the results then. I am sure all will be just fine!!
Gretchen, I am so glad everything went so well! You must be so relieved and happy :) I am having the nuchal translucency test done next Thursday, and I'm really excited about that ultrasound. You cracked me up calling it a fecal test because I briefly was trying to figure out how they would do a test of a 12-week old fetus's feces. After I read on I knew what you were talking about though. Too funny!
Congratulations again on your healthy baby. I'm so happy for you! I hope you can start to relax now and really enjoy your pregnancy :)
