Hi,
My name is Nikky. I am 31 years old. I am currently 4wks pregnant for the 5th time. My first, third and fourth pregnancies were ended due to the babies having multiple pterygium syndrome. It really surprised the doctors that this rare genetic syndrome has happened three times to me. The first baby was lost at 22wks, the third at 20wks and fourth at 19wks. I have an healthy 3 year old daughter (second pregnancy). Do you know if there are any ways to prevent this from happening in this pregnancy? Since we are the ones that educate the Drs about this, we are kind of stuck with just going for weekly ultrasounds until we notice the fetal abnormalities and lack of fetal movement. I am taking prenatals, 4mg of folic acid, B6 and B12. I also get a CVS done at 11wks, but this cannot catch this abnormalities. Do you think there is any tests to detect this? We were told that this syndrome can be found early second trimester or even in the third trimester. I just want to have a normal pregnancy. Thanks.

TO NIKKY,
Hi Nikky, I am 33 years old and I've been exactly through the same experiences that you have! The only differences are that I have a boy (same age as your daugther) and I am not pregnant but I am thinling about giving it another try....anyways I'd like to know if you had any luck with your fifth pregnancy and also if you found any test able to detect the multiple pterygium dyndrome. I wish you the best and I'll be lloking forward to your answer.
Thanks!
