I have been given a 1 in 45 chance of downs from the combined 12 weeks test. Nuchal scan was in the normal range but one of the bloods and age (I will be 43 when baby is born) brought the risk up. I have decided against having CVS as would have to have this in the next few days but feel pushed towards having an amnio. The risk of miscarriage really worries me - I have had three. I also have three children so have to consider the impact on them and my husband of having a child with disabilities.
I was wondering whether any one has waited until the next set of blood test the triple test and found that their risk had decreased or whether these will make no difference.
We did not test in any of the previous pregnancies and although I knew there was a high chance of being high risk it has still shocked me.
