Hi all
I'm 40 and 14 weeks pregnant with twins through IVF. We had the combined screening test on Wednesday last week and were called today to say our Downs risk is 1 in 71 or 1.4% for one of the babies. The NT measurement was 3 but the other baby was only 1.4 and measuring slightly smaller overall. At those odds and an increased risk of miscarriage because it's twins, would you have the invasive tests? Or have the NIPT test at £400? Or do nothing. It won't change the outcome of the pregnancy for us but I don't want to be worrying about it all the way through to the birth. We're going in to see the screening midwife tomorrow at 4.30pm to discuss the report and next steps. Something in me wasn't surprised - I was almost expecting the call. Maybe because I'm an older mum?
Would really appreciated hearing your thoughts and experiences on this please.
