Very high risk for all 3 trisomy’s - handhold needed

Looking for some advice/a handhold

I’m 13+2 with my 3rd pregnancy, 1 healthy DD and a MMC in 2022. 12 weeks scan last Wednesday saw a NT of 4.7mm but no other abnormalities. We had the results back from the combined test today that we have a 1 in 5 chance of DS and 1 in 6 of Edward’s and Patau. Papp-a and bHCG all within normal levels so the NT and my age of 35 I assume have pushed the risk up.

I have a CVS scheduled for Wednesday to get some definite answers but I am spiralling with anxiety.

has anyone been in a similar situation with a positive outcome? I’m distraught at the thought of losing this baby too
