Nucal fold > 5mm and risk of DS 1:19

[Endogirl]

Hi

I know this has been posted about lots but I could do with some help! We had our scan on Weds and the nucal fold was really thick and both blood hormones were very low. Had the CVS straight away. We're 12 + 2 weeks.

The consultant said there was a 25% chance of DS and if not DS then of the remaining 75% there was a 2/3 chance there would be other serious abnormalities.

Given choice of terminating now or waiting past the 14 week point where they would have to induce me if later scans confirmed abnormalities if CVS comes back normal.

Has anyone else been through this? Did you wait or terminate early? Were you induced early and is it simply too traumatic to go through?

Thanks in advance for your help ladies. Am in a complete panic.
