HCG Beta 5.96 MoM but normal range for Papp-a?

[Aimee19]

Hi, I’ve received my antenatal 12 week screening back. I was given a 1-5000 risk of Down syndrome, also Patau’s and Edwards syndrome?
I’ve been informed that my HCG beta is higher than the expected amount. The Papp-a is within normal range.

has anyone else experienced this?
i’m somewhat concerned/anxious, I have a fetal medicine appointment next week.
I’ve previously had 2 living boys, 4 miscarriages, and a neonatal death January 2025 with my daughter at 2 1/2 days old.

all the consultant said was “well know more after fetal medicine, you will need to have growth scans as the baby can be small or stop growing”.

any advice would be helpful.
thank you

Hi hope your ok Hi I had a care plan appointment put in place I am currently 18 weeks , they said when I had the Down syndrome testing at 12 weeks they found a high hormone in my placenta called Beta hCG they told me this at my Care plan at 18 weeks . they said this is associated with reduced placental function with baby with lower birth weight , the consultant said this doesn’t change the fact my baby is on the low risk scale with Down syndrome I’m 18 weeks currently. They said for me to take aspirin however I was on this all ready due to my mom having pre eclampsia with my little sister , has anyone else had this or heard of this I just feel a bit worried the consultant told me it’s nothing to worry about , they will see how she is on my 20weeks scan and said if anything is showing she is growing small I will have more scans 🙂 I hope your ok however I wasn’t asked for fetal medicine appointment xx

They said I was low risk 1-5000 for downsyndrome to hope everything is working out for you x
