[tri-med] Re: trisomies and two vessel umbilical cord

I wanted to add that I have heard COUNTLESS stories of ultrasound results
indicating possible problems when nothing is actually wrong.  Sometimes
the drs found a few findings which they thought would indicate a problem but
actually indicated nothing.  Sometimes the drs thought they found a finding,
but the ultrasound was actually wrong.
Since my experience with Caroline, right about some, wrong about
some (misdiagnosed hypoplastic left heart, by different TWO cardiologists),
and the other stories I have since heard, I have very little confidence in
ultrasound results.  They have scared too many parents unnecessarily!  I
almost forego the routine ultrasound during my pregnancy with Kallie, but
chickened out at the last minute and went ahead with it.
