So on top of everything else I have going on, the screening MW from the NHS phones me this morning, and reminds me why I should actually be someewhere there are no phones and no one can get to me
Quick background, had good NF scan (2.3mm), my background risk (age 33) was 1:353, this NF took risk down to 1:613, then bloods took it back up to 1:301. The cut off for them offering amnio at Bupa was 1:300 so we were just outside the boundary of being considered high risk.
The consultant recommended we had a marker scan at 18weeks (another £160) which would give us a clearer indication of whether to have an amnio.
Screening MW rang today as I had left her a msg, she said that if I was 1:251 on NHS results I would have just recieved a letter saying I was low risk (their cut off being 1:250 but its a different test). She also said the marker scan was not evidence based and therefore dubious as to whether it really indicates anything. She also said we could have an amnio on the NHS if we wanted.
So now am torally confused, dh thinks we should just have the amnio, but I dont know if I can put what is more than likely a healthy baby at risk.
Any advice would be great please, because I just cant deal with any of this right now
