Hi. I am looking to get advice please.....my partner and I are still in a state of shock after our scan yesterday. We were told that the NT fluid on the back of the babies neck measures more than 3.5mm (which was confirmed with a specialist and another scan later the same day) - its measuring at 3.8mm. It was explained to us what this could mean and we were then offered the amnio test, which I have booked for next Friday (when I will be over 15 weeks). I havent had any issues like this before...and it all seems to be happening so quickly, but I also feel like I am in limbo land.
I am worrying about whether I am doing the right thing with the amnio....given the risk of miscarriage. But from what I have read on the nifty tests they are not diagnostic tests and they also take a lot more time to get the results....has anyone got experience or advice they could give?
Thank you
