Hi,
I would love to know if anyone else has been in our position, as I just don't know what to do...
We had a nuchal fold measurement of 3.8mm at our 12 week scan.
Since then we've had the results of the reflexDNA test back as screen negative, with the results saying we have a less than 1 in 50,000 risk of having a baby with downs, edwards or pattau's. We got very excited after this as we felt that everything must be ok.
But since then I've been booked in for a cardiac scan to check for any other issues that might be related to the higher than usual nuchal fold measurement, and theres also been some discussion about the possible need for an amniocentesis after that, depending on the results of the cardiac scan.
To me, this all just feels like postponing the eventual need to have an amnio, and so I've booked in to have one before the cardiac scan - but do I need to?
I think all the information we've been given is stressing us out, and Im just not sure whether to wait for the cardiac scan next week, or to push ahead with the amnio this week.
Has anyone ever been in the same boat?
