Hi,
We went for our 12 weeks scan yesterday. I'm 42 and have one daughter and have had one miscarriage so I'd already worked myself up to think things weren't going to be OK. Was so relieved when we saw the baby jumping about and seemingly healthy. But then after waiting for an hour, they brought us back in to say the combined nuchal fold and blood test showed a 1 in 7 chance of Downs Syndrome. So I then had the amniocentesis- results mid next week. Although they weren't sure if they got enough of the placenta so might have to repeat it - they'll let me know on Monday. I am so so worried and freaking out - just wondered if others had had this experience and any advice. I know what will be will be, and we've already talked and agreed what we will do if the outcome is positive. But I've wanted another baby for ages and for all sorts of reasons it's been really hard so am so gutted about this. :( Thanks
