[tri-wings] Introductions

I feel like I should introduce myself and tell you all a little bit about 
myself. First thank you so much for the support I have recieved already from 
everyone. My name is Missy. I am 25 years old. I live in Plymouth 
Massachussetts. I am a 4th grade teacher in Duxbury a town near Plymouth. My 
husband John is 27.  He is a corrections officer/Deputy for the Sheriff's 
Department. Nicole was my first pregnancy/baby. I had MANY ultrasounds 13 to be 
exact with no conclusive findings. All though after I found out what Nicole had 
it seemed conclusive to me! I had an AFP and everything was normal. After 
testing our chromosomes they found out that John was a "carrier". We went to 
genetic counseling and they told us that it was very rare that I got pregnant 
and carried to term. They then told us that there is a 7% chance that this will 
happen again. Even though on paper it looked like 50% to me. They assured us 
that in studies of families they only see a 7% reaccurence rate. This is so 
scary to us! I never want to see another baby have to go through what Nicole 
went through and for the most part she was pretty healthy! 

I guess my question is does anyone know of any sites that may give statistics 
on Translocations. I feel like I need to be prepared for the future even if it 
may not be what I want.

Thanks so much.

Missy
