Hi
Went to Kings College in Lon yest for 12 wk Nuchal scan. The actual scan was very thorough & brilliant, babies heart, brain, blood in veins, nasal bone etc all perfect only prob was thickness of nuchal fold being 4mm, which I was told is a high risk. This alone put my risk ratio for DS at 1:13 but then combined with my blood test adjusted my risk to 1:2128, I'm 30 yrs old. The adjusted risk is now classed as 'low risk' but I still have the worry of the thickness of the nuchal fold. I have been advised by my local midwife to have a CVS which is now booked for Fri. I am obviuosly v anxious that I am making the right decision as the differences between my blood test and nuchal is so different, has anyone else had similar? Should I concentrate more on the adjusted risk being 'low' or the fact that the Nuchal is 4mm?
