I had a phone call today from the specialist MW at hospital today, as my bloods have come back with a 1:19 risk of Edwards or Patau syndrome. I went straight in for the Harmony test, which will give results within 14 days. I was offered CVS but the midwife seemed to be dissuading me from having it, her main reason being that there were no obvious abnormalities on my scan on Weds. I'm approaching 14 weeks now, have told most family and friends, colleagues etc.
What I'm most hoping for is, apart from a hand hold, people to tell me their experiences of having this horribly high result but all being well...conversely, I'd like to know if anyone has had a seemingly clear scan but a positive Edwards diagnosis after bloods.
I really felt like the midwife was gently suggesting it was unlikely baby had it...but maybe that's just what I wanted to hear?
Thanks for listening, I'm pretty shaken and upset, would appreciate any experiences, good or bad, people wouldn't mind sharing.
