Hello,
I was just wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience.
I had a phone call from one of the antenatal screening midwives today informing me my screening test had come back as high risk for having a baby with Down syndrome (1 in 86). She explained the first screening test aren't massively reliable and suggested I got the NIPt test which I did.
She reassured me that my scan was perfectly normal, the NT measurement was well in range at 2.1 (usually >3.5 in a baby with downs).
I just can't help feeling extremely overwhelmed by this, which I know is normal so would be great to hear off anyone else who has been in a similar position.
This pregnancy is a rainbow baby for us, so very precious.

@nursemum2025 hi there, my risk is similar to yours (but on a quad test), waiting for my nipt. How did you get on?
