Hi All
Not sure if any one can relate to this but i thought i'd give it a shot.
I am 12 weeks pregnant and went for my dating and nuchal scan today (Friday). Unfortunately I have been classified with a risk of 1:55 for having a baby with Down's Syndrome. I am now going for a CVS scan next Monday :(
Just wondering if anyone has had experiences like this before and if so whether I should be really stressed out or not? Not sure how to really feel especially after seeing the baby kicking and bouncing around in my belly.
The results from the ultrasound were fine. Nasal bone present and the following additional stats were provided:
Crown Rump Length 61.4mm
Nuchal Transparency 1.6mm
The blood results were the one that pushed the down's risk to the higher risk category:
hCG: 75.380 (equivalent to 1.9403 MoM)
PAPP-A: 0.72 (equivalent to 0.2341 MoM)
Thoughts or experiences anyone can share? I am anxious to find out what's going on as I was really hoping after today, being 12 weeks pregnant, I could start sharing the news with other people...
