In Reply to: Level II Ultrasound with 2 "soft indicators" of DS posted by Karen on December 02, 2000 at 12:40:34:

: I just had a level II Ultra sound yesterday and 2 "soft" indicators were present. The doctor did an
: amnio on the spot. Does anyone know if there's a statistical increase in DS possiblity where more than
: one "soft" marker is present? Are some "soft" markers more indicative of DS than others? One marker
: was extra skin and fluid in back of the skull and neck and the other was a problem with the baby's
: kidney.

Karen,

The Nuchal fold that you are speaking of is an indicator for DS in some instances, did I understand you correctly as to say that you had an amino? Please email me at MELANIEBBB@aol.com and we will talk further...
