Hi just received a call to discuss nuchal results which I thought was ominous as was expecting a letter. Been told that despite fold results being ok at 2.2mm when combined with bloods I am at high risk with 1:50 chance of downs.
They have immediately booked me in for an amnio at 17 weeks but I can opt out on the day if I want- results will take another 2 weeks on top or I can pay to have them earlier.
Its so hard because by that stage you are so visably pregnant and will feel baby, making any decisions so much harder.
I have worked with Downs children and adults and know how rewarding and what great lives they can have but I also have a 2 yr old daughter who it will affect as well.
Has anyone else had odds like myself or can offer any advice ???
