Hi I am having an amnio in 2 weeks, I have been told I have 1 in 52 chances of Down Syndrom baby after the results from my nuchal scan and blood tests and my age, 41.
My hospital only gives you the results from the amnio PCR, which tells you if yor baby has trisomy 13, 18 and 21. I would like to know how I can also get the rest of the results for spina bifida and other rare illness. When I had my son the hospital did it all, but things have changed and now they ask you to wait till the 20 weeks scan to see if the baby has spina bifida.
I am calling my hospital tomorrow, but what was your experience ? Any information and advice will be welcome. Thanks
