Have just found out that I have a slightly raised risk of having a baby with Edwards syndrome. Apart from being totally shocked and devestated not really sure what to do. We are offered a CVS next week or wait till 16 weeks for the aminio - not sure what to do. I work in a neonatal unit and my boss (Professor no less!) thinks its such a small risk that I should do nothing but not sure if I can last 6 months not knowing. Never thought I was a control freak but now realise that I am! Any one with any experience of this? I'm 31 and 13 weeks on Saturday - 2nd pregnancy. My nucal fold was perfect apparently and the baby was moving and doing everything it should - could see the brain hemispheres and everything! One blood test was perfect but the other one was very low and thats whats done it apparently! Thanks in advance - SL x
