I have had my letter through today and i'm classed as low risk 1 in 430.
My question is what are the cut off points? does anyone know the figure where low risk turns to increased risk?

I haven't got any particular knowledge but my midwife at my booking appointment said that 1 in 250 was the point where they would suggest further tests.

I have looked this up and apparently it has now been moved to 1 in 150 in many hospitals as the cut off point for recommending a diagnostic test.

Mrsshears, my midwife said that the cut off was 250 but if I felt at all uncomfortable with the result I could opt to have further diagnostic tests. Hoping for the best for you.
