I had a baby a few weeks ago.... The results of the screening tests came back abnormal. I went to the doctor to take blood again, ..... I am a little nervous and dont know what to expect. I will be getting results in the next few days. So mothers with such an experience please let me know how it turned out to be....

I hope you get good news only!!! Sometimes the results end up being not accurate the first time they test.

My first child also had abnormal results. They told me she might have cystic fibrosis. I was petrified.

It turns out that many babies have abnormal results, and only a tiny percentage actually have cystic fibrosis. We went for a sweat test and it was negative, B"H. My dd is totally fine. (She's 7.)

They picked up the gene of cystic fibrosis. That mean she can be a carrier or have that disease. If you did genetic testing and you're compatable with your spouse then there is a very very very slight chance that the child has it.
