Hi everyone, I’m currently 13 weeks and 2 days pregnant with my first baby, yesterday I had the phone call that my screening tests come back high for Edwards and pataus syndrome. We are 1:25 meaning a 96% chance everything will be fine. The midwife said I have low pap but my 12 week scan was absolutely fine, the fluid measured fine and my baby was wriggling around. I went into the hospital and had further tests where they test the babies DNA from my blood, they said this can take up to 11 days to come back and I am absolutely beside myself. Has anyone been in a similar Situation that come out positive??

@SAJ70 we had the NIPT testing and they come back as low risk, we went for further scans at 16 weeks and was told that everything looked to be heading in the right way, but she was on the smaller side, we also had our gender reveal and she was a girl. We went for our 20 nhs scan and was told there was no heartbeat. A couple of days later I was induced and gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. We chose a post Morton but we are still waiting for the results of that. It couldn’t be completely unrelated to the screening tests so please try to stay calm and wait for your further test results if you have had them. We said if this was to ever happen again we would go for amnio and get a straight answer. Sending you all my love and hope that everything is perfect and you have a beautiful baby. If I can help in anyway just let me know
