I'm 38 years old and am 12+4 pg with much much wanted DC3.
I've just been called by Babybond with results for my scan and blood test for my nuchal scan. For my age I have a 1 in 112 risk of Downs, my hormone levels give me a 1 in 240 chance, but the adjusted score for me personally is 1 in 38. This is high risk.
I've just come back from seeing my GP who was lovely, but said that she thought it was a serious enough result to warraant a CVS.
I am PETRIFIED. I don't know what to do. I think I'll probably hve the CVS done. Although I know this carries a risk of MC. Although I don't know what I'll do if the CVS comes back positive for Downs. I have 2 other DD's (7 and 3) and a lovely DH who is incredibly supportive.
I've had 2 m/c before this pg, so it's incredibly hard to get these results.
DH and I are seeing private OB/GYN on Saturday to get some further information.
I'm just a soggy weepy mess at the moment.
Any advice would be very gratefully appreciated.
Thanks.
