Hi,
I am 13+3 with my 3rd baby. My eldest son is almost 3 and is fine. My second was lost to a late missed miscarriage (he died around 18 weeks, discovered at the 20 week scan). We had a post mortem but there was no reason found, he was essentially a healthy baby, and we were just told that it was one of those things. My nuchal fold / combined blood test tesults have come back as a 1:47 risk factor. I don't know my precise figures but she said NT was slightly high (but it can't have been dramatic as nothing was mentioned at the scan), hCG was normal and PAPP-A was low. She thought it was the PAPP-A that was the reason the risk factor was high, as well as my age (I'm
35).
Can anyone tell me any positive stories? I'm so frightened. We've always said that we wouldn't continue with a Down's syndrome diagnosis, so have booked am amniocentesis, but they can't do it for 2.5 weeks. I gave birth to one dead baby already, I honestly don't know how I would get through it if this amnio is positive for a chromosome disorder.
