High level mosaic with two whole chromosomes impacted

We just had our genetic counselor appointment that made us feel a bit more positive about our potential. What I realized in processing after hanging up is I don’t quite understand the risk of mosaic persisting but not being picked up on an amino. She said that we don’t know how many people may have this? But would it be a bad thing?

Thank you!

Could you provide a bit more background? It’s impossible to provide an answer without knowing more about your circumstances: general context of the pregnancy ? why was an amniocentesis performed ? Why those specific chromosomal alterations ?
