Scared about my pregnancy?!?!?

Ok so I'm really scared abut my pregnancy mainly because I took a test to see if my baby had Down syndrome it was a 2 % chance it would but when I went to doctor they explained I wasn't as far along as they thought I was so that's why the test came out that way well I didn't get the test again because they had no openings but ever since that scare I feel they are just telling me this so I won't abort the baby (not that I was going to) but every time I get an ultrasound my doctor says he sees nothing wrong but I feel they just don't want to tell me :/ my baby moves a lot and heart beat is strong and fast which I heard rumors that's a sign of down syndrome can someone help me I'm scared :/ this is my first pregnancy

    Activity is a good sign not a bad one. Also,I wouldn't worry about a 2% chance bc that's a 98% chance everything is fine. I've know many women who des told them 100% their baby would be down syndrome and told them to abort. Well I'm happy to say all those children were not aborted and did not have down syndrome like the Dr said. They are happy,healthy kids. Don't let things worry you. Pregnancy and Birth is not as scary as people make it out to be. I was told I would die giving birth and I had a perfect 8hr labor and delivery.

    That test is just a screening it does not mean for sure your baby will have something wrong with it my doctor told me most test do come back positive for that and some women have the second test done to check the fluids and others just wait and see what happens and most of them have healthy normal babies some women do not even do this test at all because of the rate it has to be wrong and freak women out so do not worry. My baby had a very fast heart beat til he was about 20 weeks or so along now it is lighter it does not mean anything by the heart beat some told me I was having girl because of that and I am having a boy due in February. I also had a good friend who was told her daughter would have spinal issues and she was born healthy with no issues :-).

    Depends at the man and the way historical you're. If you are below 18, then he would be potentially figuring out how he isnt capable for the penalties of intercourse but. Actually recognise anybody this occurred to. Over 18, I say now not lengthy. I say this given my beyond reviews. This can vary among persons.

    What are you scared about? 2% is about every young woman's risk for having a baby with Down syndrome or other chromosomal abnormalities. They're not going to lie to you during your ultrasounds, you are fine.

    why are you worrying so much? the doctor would tell you if something was wrong, THAT'S THEIR JOB. a strong, fast heartbeat is a GOOD thing. you don't want your baby to have a weak heart. stop freaking out over nothing. you're putting stress on yourself and your child for no reason.
