Hi just looking for a bit insight/ experiences as this one is new to me we had our 12 week scan at 13 weeks scan seemed normal no mention of anything out of the ordinary had the screening along side it for Downs and edwards and patau it came back as very high risk 1/6 for down syndrome and 1/18 for edwards and patau my papp a was 0.7 according to my notes the midwife told me it was 0.6 I've had the nipt test so waiting for the results its not due back until Thursday I think so going quietly crazy here stuck in limbo 💖

I had this too 9 years ago. All was ok with the nipt test thankfully, really hope yours is too.
