High risk for downs and baby measuring small

Hi, this is my first post but I’ve exhausted all the threads on here looking for answers or similar situations to me. So at 12 weeks + 3 I had my Down syndrome screening test and the next day it came back as high risk (1 in 8). Fast forward the week after I decided to have a CVS because I’d rather be prepared than not know. During that scan they told me part of my high risk was my Papp-a being low (0.28) and that my baby was measuring a lot smaller than was expected. Everything else seemed fine except for my placenta which was also small and narrow (as the consultant doing the cvs described it) so they could only get a small sample. Usually a CVS comes back in 3-4 days with a quick test and the full results in 2 weeks but because my sample was so small I was unable to have the quick sample done so now I’m having an agonising and worrying wait. I’ve also been booked in for a viability scan at 16 weeks because of baby being so small. I’m so worried and have no experience of this at all. I previously had twins with no complications at all so this is a scary shock for me. If anyone has any experience or has been in a similar situation to me I’d love to hear from you !x
