Need Advise On Invetro Pregnancy.

My son and his wife were called back as 10% of those who could experience downs or spinal bifida. We do have a 20 year grandson with spinal bifida; that daughter-in-law was not diet conscience and she failed to take folic acid.
My son and his wife who are pregnant now are (him) 45 and (she) 33.This is a invetro pregnancy. They have been married 12 years.I do not want to panic and we will not talk about this unless our daughter-in-law or son brings it up. She is in her nineteenth.week. We are people of faith and trust God's plan for our lives. The doctor said today that all is well. Is there a word of comfort that calms our anxiety.

Hi. I can understand your anxiety. But you have this query at a very right stage. Pregnancy may be natural or in vitro, to rule out these congenital anomalies , you can get blood test-Quadruple marker test and at the same time Level 2 scan for this.The picture will be very clear and you can decide further with the advise of your gynecologist. Thanks and good luck.
