Myself and SO are currently 13 weeks pregnant.
We have recently received the combined screening tests, that you can have alongside your 12 week scan, which have come back "high risk" for Edward's and Patau's.
We have been to see a consultant today who have scanned us again, and diagnosed (I don't really think that's the right word but I hope you get the jist..) a two vessel umbilical cord. He said in the scheme of things, he would usually not worry but because we are high risk, he said our results came back as 1 in 100, it may be an indication that there is an issue.
We are now booked in for a amniocentesis to try get the diagnosis if our baby has either syndrome, for in 12 days.
I have looked through and read through some threads, but I feel like I have worried myself more.
I am just looking for help/advise/anyone who's been through a similar situation? I know the percentages are still relatively low in the grand scheme of things, but my mind is going into overdrive!
