High risk of Downs Syndrome

[LeBe]

Was anyone else given a high risk of downs syndrome? I had the two blood tests done (one at 12wks and one at 14) but wasnt offered the nuchual sac test. I am 23, have no history in the family and am fit and healthy so i was (perhaps naively) assuming it would be fine but the midwife rang to say it was 1 in 150 when it should have ben 1 in 1000. I decided against having any further tests but have to admit it has been in the back of my mind ever since although people keep telling me it is quite good odds really. I know for a fact it would make no difference to how i feel about my baby i will love him to bits no matter what but everyone wants their baby to not ahve any problems dont they.

Does anyone else have any stories they could share?

Right i am probably being really thick now but what bit do i go onto exactly to go to topics. I do know how to use computers usually believe it or not maybe it is a pregnancy side affect! xx

Hi Just wonderteing can anyone help, does a baby having ds affect the movements in the womb, i.e are teay less if the baby was to be diagonoised with ds

My mum said my brother didn't move as much as the rest of us whilst in the womb, and he has Downs. Also, had my nuchal on Monday at the Fetal Medicine Centre and they also said that babies with Downs move less in the womb. I'm sure there are exceptions to the rule though.

thanks fatfox really made me feel good now cheers
