Hi all,
Panicking Mumma to be here... I had my scan at 21 weeks yesterday and the scan lasted alot longer than normal. The sonographer did say that the baby was moving alot and kept putting her hand infront of her face. She got me to walk around outside for 10 minutes and then come back. She asked me twice if I've had screening for ds which also added to my worry. After an hour of proding around she said she will be referring me to King college to see a specialist as she was unable to see a nasal bone and this could indicate down syndrome. I was very shocked and stupidly didn't really ask any questions. Does any1 know what further testing may be done at King's? Also to add my screening at 12 weeks came back as low risk. Would appreciate hearing others experiences on this xx
