Just as title says I got my NIPT result back today with high risk for Edwards syndrome. NHS combined test was 1:136 and NT was 2.3mm. Needless to say I'm devastated.
The MW told me the test is 97% accurate for Edwards and highly likely that amniocentesis would confirm this result. Edwards syndrome is not compatible with life so I would expect to either miscarry, have a still birth or a baby that dies soon after birth.
I'm 13w and so will have an agonising 2 weeks before my amniocentesis at 15+3. Needless to say I'm absolutely devastated and DH is even more broken than I am. Not sure how to continue with a pregnancy that seems doomed. Not sure what I'm asking here, just if anyone's experienced similar situation?
