Hi ladies, I'm sad to be joining you all. Got our combined test results - 1:5 chance of chromosome abnormalities. We decided to go for further testing but can't do the animo till next week. So all we can do is sit tight and try to focus on the 4:5 chance that everything will be fine (so hard to do, especially at 3am when my brain goes into overdrive!).

Not really asking for advice or anything as the hospital has been amazingly informative. I guess just hoping for some 'good luck' from those who've been in the same position.

We never even imagined being in this position just happily assumed it all would be fine. Oh if only!

Now where's that cake????
