am 37 and we went for our 12 week scan on Wednesday (this would be our 3rd baby) and our consultant spent ages scanning me which was a red flag...our nuchal fluid reading was 3.5 (3 is the 'normal' cutoff) which has raised concers with him. My bloods were done and are being sent to the UK to get more information re possible outcome. The results will be in next wendnesday or thursday morning. My husband and i are just in shock i guess, its all i can think about and i am so terrified and the waiting is awful...every hour seems to be dragging. Of course i was straight on to Dr. Google the minute i got home and there have been a lot of positive outcomes with a reading of 3.5. I would love to hear from other ladies out there who have had a similar reading and how all turned out. Also i live in Ireland. Its very helpful to have this forum to express my fears...my head is consumed with this and its all I'm thinking about.
