General Hospital Spoilers: Carly Corinthos High-Risk Pregnancy

GH spoilers recall Carly Corinthos has a history of difficult pregnancies and births. Remember, all three of her past pregnancies were high-risk. She miscarried during her first pregnancy with Sonny Corinthos. Then, she suffered severe postpartum with Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell). Also, she was told she wouldn’t be able to get pregnant again after Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy).

Certainly, this baby is a miracle. But, it doesn’t come without some scary risks. Besides that, Carly’s age makes her high-risk. Fans wonder with this pregnancy, how old is Carly on General Hospital? The character is supposedly 45, born in November of 1973. Laura Wright, the actress that plays the ole is 48. And for those that want to know “is Carly really pregnant” as in, is the actress pregnant – the answer is no – as she keeps reiterating on social media. No, Laura Wright is not pregnant.

What Pre-Natal Test Did Carly Have on GH That Showed Risk?

General Hospital spoilers remind that Carly Corinthos’ OB/GYN suggested she undergo another procedure called an AFP test. This test measures a specific protein. It is run in some pregnant women in their second trimester. The Alpha-fetoprotein test looks for a protein made in the growing baby’s liver. During fetal development, some of this AFP goes into the mom’s blood through the baby’s placenta. So, that’s how they can measure it.

Too little or too much AFP in a mother’s blood can be a warning sign of a birth defect or other condition. It can indicate a neural tube defect like spina bifida or anencephaly. It could also mean a risk for Down syndrome or a multiple pregnacy. However, sometimes with a reading that is “off” in an AFP test can simply mean the due date was miscalculated. So, Carly’s doc urges her not to panic because it could be nothing. Of course, Carly won’t listen and is now in a panic, say GH spoilers.
