I was wondering this too!! She said she had to wait 2.5 weeks for the CVS results and then never confirmed nor denied whether it was high risk or not. I thought maybe I’d just missed something but I didn’t want to rewatch the video.Hey all, I’m a new lurker coming out of the woods! It seems really weird to me how in her video Sarah focuses on when she got the NIPT results (a screening test) but doesn’t say anything about getting the CVS results (a diagnostic test). This jumps out at me because I’m also 19 weeks pregnant and did NIPT screening earlier on and based on what I learnt about NIPT + the follow up diagnostic options (amnio or CVS), NIPT has low positive predictor values for many of the disorders it screens for, excluding Down’s syndrome + 2-3 much more serious disorders (I would think the latter aren’t what Sarah is facing because she suggests her baby’s disorder has a wide spectrum of severity).
The first time I listened I even thought she was saying the doctor recommended termination in a consult within her CVS appointment - i.e. before they’d have results, so based on NIPT alone - which I can’t see happening as the 3x medical practitioners I saw through my process all really hammered home how NIPT is risk screening not diagnostic. On a relisten though it’s just unclear because she never actually mentions getting the CVS result?
Both for sureNot sure if Sezzy is talking about her head or her shelves???
A doctor would do this absolutely if it were a abnormality such as Edward’s syndrome which is incompatible with life.I'm not denying a doctor would outright say this (I imagine many do), but my thoughts are it's more likely the doctor offered it up as a suggestion, especially since Sarah is young and clearly has no fertility issues. The advice could have been along the lines of "or you could stop and start again" by way of letting her know her options. But in the stress of the moment she misheard or misunderstood.
Or she's twisted the doctor's words so she can say "I told you I knew better, the evil doctors told me to abort you" if the baby's condition isn't as bad as was first thought.
The NIPT tests for chromosomal abnormalities. I’m not sure Einstein had one of those. Some suspect he has as mildly autistic.It s impossible to speculate there are literally so many genetic disorders out there. No judgment on her decision to keep the baby and I do hope he as the mildest form of this health condition. Some people like Einstein and Stephen Hawking had disabilities and they changed the world. With that being said, really and truly I hope Sarahs decision to go against medical advice wasnt because she s into naturopathy and alternative medicine and stuff
Hahahah came here to say the exact same thing. Also she said their house gets very windy BECAUSE OF the palm treesAh blaming the weather for not leaving the houseconvenient. It’s also not cold
Definitely copying from Skye Whitley if that’s the case, she named her second child Bear.Did anyone notice she referred to this baby as "Bear"? Imagine - here are my kids - Fox and Bear!
