I'm 12 wks pregnant and had my first trimester screening yesterday and I'm really struggling with the results. I've been told I have a 1:17 chance of trisomy 13. The issue wasn't with the nuchal translucency (which is 1mm), but a high heart rate (180 bpm) and no nasal bone obviously present. This combined with my age (36) and bloods (hcg - 0.5 mom & papp - 0.6 mom) has made me very high risk. I've chosen to go with the harmony test as I have a hematoma and can't risk an invasive procedure and have no idea how to get through these next days waiting. Has anyone else had similar results - any positives endings? Any advice on how to get through the next days (I'm off work as too tearful)? The way the hospital handled the situation didn't help - total panic when they couldn't find the nasal bone and basically kept saying how sorry they were as if it was all over.
