I have to say this sonographer nailed it - she said all the things that needed to be explained to a patient! Great job!

My friend had a live birth trisomy 18 birth this weekend. This video has helped my heart. ❤

I have watched them all. I love that God’s love pulled all of their strength together and they trusted in Him. I am 34 weeks pregnant and have quite an odd story concerning T18. We got the screening just for early gender purposes and just as this story, the report said much more. I received it on my birthday in December of last year. We then were introduced to the MFM world and all the many tests, blood draws, and scans involved. At our 16 week ultrasound, I will never forget this doctor’s name…Jesse Marquis came in and performed our very detailed ultrasound and ended the procedure by telling my husband and I both that there has been a corrected result and there he sees no signs of Trisomy 18. He literally said these words. I was still on my back in ultrasound mode but my husband jumped up to thank the Lord for the both of us. Our 22week check up hit, and they noticed the bowels were outside of the body. This brought on the suggestion to get an amnio done. We did the amnio in March of this year I believe and the results of that read T18. We were totally confused because we had the results from our 16 week scan. Every question you can think of at this point came up and our hearts were exhausted with this rollercoaster of emotions. How were we back to T18? What happened to the corrected results the dr gave us at 16wks? This is our first year in a new state as well and we were far from the usual medical approach that the state of Ohio offers….we now have made our home in Northern Virginia and dealing with this as well. Crying happened, confusion happened, questions came up constantly…until I finally decided to invite God. I had pushed every one out and chose not to pray for months. I just didnt know what to say to Him. In the midst of that time, we experienced bleeding and was told I was miscarrying and it didn’t happen…we were told that she wouldn’t make it past the 2nd trimester and she has. I am now 34 weeks and even though I was told I have extra amnio fluid…our approach is still Gods way and planning to go full term with her (Kennedy). We have been to two MFM entities and are now hoping to receive a consultation from D.C.s Childrens National Hospital. Every kind of testing has been done. The cardiologist says he sees no reason why I cannot deliver vaginally. My first two children, just like this video were full term and vaginally delivered with no complications. In spite of all the anatomy scans and fetal echos…earlier on, there was mention of a fetal MRI to be done and when I brought it up just this past week, the main doctor said that she sees no need for one. This is also the same dr that said amnio fluid (mine is currently at 35.4) can be drained…I brought it up because my pace in the classroom has slowed down (Im a teacher) and again, she mentioned that to her, I didn’t look too uncomfortable to have that procedure done. My husband and I have no idea where this is coming from and still if anything want the MRI to take place. Because if Kennedys cardiologist is saying that her heart won’t be the reason why she passes, then lets see what an MRI could/would reveal. Our story has had so many turns but we are still believing Jesus Christ for a miracle. I am 34 weeks and she is currently 3.5 pounds. If you Dr Papa, have any insight , I would love to hear from you!

Thank you ❤

Will your baby have low blood sugar indefinitely if you have GD? I’m so nervous and sick to my stomach they are barely telling me now at 37 weeks I have GD and they are sorry it was not catched earlier.

Thanks this was really clearly explained

Unfortunately woman no longer have any choices. They are forced to deliver and will be forced to provide every life saving intervention available. If the baby is miscarried or dies at any time after birth will there be a homicide investigation? Will the family end up up declaring bankruptcy? Will any right to lifer even ponder these questions? Had anyone on the Supreme Court even heard of trisomy 18 or any other birth defect? Did they even think about unintended consequences when the overturned Roe v. Wade?

I have a baby with Trisomy 18. She is 5 months old now and extremely beautiful

Hi Doctor What is tha normal blood sugar after 1hr of meal. Taking novorapid insulin before each meal. If sugar levels is 85mg/dl after 1hr of food this is normal or low. After embryo transfer and those who are pregnant. Please reply.

😢

❤

You delivered my boys NYE 2008, you and your sister saved my boys’ lives. I will always be grateful to you two!

Gorgeous baby!!!

Thank you for talking about the family's quality of life and having to deal with the trauma of carrying, delivering and then burying a baby.

My daughter has partial trisomy 18 which is a trans location. She is still alive and she is in her 30s. I found out I was a carrier, I have the translocation, but all of my chromosomes are there with no extra material. None of my additional pregnancies were successful. They all had this translocation. My love for her is boundless. My beliefs are a little bit different, I believe that I had chosen her, and she had chosen me as her mother before she had entered my body, and having you choose a path that you take when you enter a physical body.

My son was born to me at 21. Now, he's trisomy 21. 40 years later I'm so blessed. You folks done the best thing for Hannah. God bless you to this day. Angie

Thank you sharing your story. It means so much to me and comforts me at this very hard time.

I just gave birth to my daughter with down syndrome on the 10th Nov. No one picked it up except me. I told nurses and doctors something was wrong and mentioned down syndrome. After 3 days and after her breathing became faster and feeding worse, they finally did a DNA test. It came back positive for t21 and once they did an echocardiogram, a complete avsd as well. She is still in hospital and will be til surgery in a couple months, til she hits 5kg and is ready for surgery. She is the light of my life I never had before and the child I never knew I needed. She's pure peace and love.

Could nausea during pregnancy be a signal to stop eating, and allow the woman's metabolism to switch to ketogenesis?

Abortion is NOT healthcare. You don't get to take a life to stay out of poverty. Don't want to get pregnant - use birth control

I'm 5 months pregnant with a beautiful baby boy with tricimy 18

Thanks!

Lost my first grandson to this last year. He only survived three days. 😢

اذا في حد يفهمنا

I think it’s a valid reason to get an abortion, not to say it’s a must but it’s completely understandable!

I’m pregnant and I need normal sugar level can you help me please? Also pray for me please

This is my third pregnancy and second one with gestational diabetes. I was able to control my blood sugar last pregnancy with just keto diet and adjusting my carbs to blood sugar. This pregnancy my morning fasting numbers are too high so the midwife put me on 8ml of insulin at night. Keto diet has really helped me control my gestational diabetes. And i don't feel like crap from blood sugar highs and lows. Normally keto diet did nothing for me in between pregnancy, it didn't help me lose weight.

I recently found your page and enjoy your calm and caring videos. This is great advice!! I can attest that your life seems to stop when shocking news about pregnancy is delivered. These are great points to keep in mind during the appointment.

Thank you, Dr Papa…taking away the ability for healthcare providers to give the best treatment possible to their patients can only HURT.

What a beautiful baby, Hannah was!!

Great video thank you ma'am

Oatmeal is fine, with low fat milk and no sugar..

Hi my name is abelina Gomez, I was pregnant with my second child and I was told that my daughter Evelyn was going to be born with trisomy 18 and it wasn't too late for abortion and they were trying to push me towards the destination of abortion and I was not going for That because in my head at least i could hold and kiss her tell her that mommy apologize for this but ill be with u soon i just wanted to see and hold her feel her no matter how long she will be here but i wanted to have her in my arms and hand her to the lord for care... 😢😢

Much relief after going through this stuff. Stress no doubt affects my blood sugar levels czcams.com/users/postUgkx6Cu3qDh3FB7umUbfXaU7hDAHrqvwQyNk Taking a walk usually help bring them down. Eating sweets is not my favorite, but if i take a large portion of them, my blood sugar level rises high. I think it's the high concentration of the glucose flowing into the bloodstream all at once. This is a lesson worth taking note of. This is a great material to learn from.

My oldest son is in his early 20's and he has type 1 diabetes. But thank God for this piece of article czcams.com/users/postUgkxVYhghKWmrUgXARZ_ydZTvmmcrw5L0I5i At first he thought he had the flu and was lying down on the bed for three days until his sister took him to the hospital. They took his blood and it was 600. What I do not understand is how he could have gotten it, since no one in the family has it. But he is winning the battle now. This is good stuff.

How can you prevent diabetes?

I love bread. I try to do the low carb 647 bread and low carb tortilla...whats ur take on those?

What about roasted peanuts 🥜 during gestational diabetes during pregnancy??? Is that ok?

My boyfriend is 54 years old with so many of these conditions how do I know for sure ? He has never been diagnosed but he has small head , clinches his hands has deformed feet but he functions with working he works 2 jobs very competed to working . Definitely drinks beer way too much like any person that doesn’t understand what’s wrong with them however he does tell me to treat him like he’s 6 to understand most things . He’s super sweet in nature but it’s obvious there’s an issue and this is the closest I can find to him being diagnosed ? I’m confused as to life expectancy though ? He’s 54 years old and his mom is 90 he is the youngest of 7 children and no others like him at all . Should I look at any other diagnosis with any other names .

should be called hannah’s mom’s story

Appreciated....how nicely explained everything so clear.thank you

I am jealous of people who can hide behind God for everything that happened to them . Imagine a God who put a woman through pregnancy and other difficulties only to take her baby away from her . If it was a person , he would be called a psychopath. God can get away with anything .

I have gestational diabetes, and I try my best to keep the sugar levels down, but sometimes, they are elevated. To watch this video at 2 weeks away from delivery my baby made me scared and worried 😢

I’m taking this time out to appreciate Dr Igudia on CZcams who cured my diabetes with the natural herbs supplements I ordered from him after I came across his CZcams channel.

Beautiful child.
