I had blood tests at 12 wks but the hospital didn't send them for the chromosomal testing. MW took more blood last week (14+) and rang the lab yesterday for the results. It's come back 1/24 which is even higher than it should be for my age (43).
MW says test isn't so accurate because they've tested as 2nd trimester not first, and has tried to reassure me that even these odds are still only 4% possibility of abnormality.
We've got to go to the hospital tomorrow to discuss our options. What should I ask? I've searched all the archive threads and I think I'm even more confused. DH is adamant that he couldn't cope with a baby with Downs. OTOH I have had 2 missed m/c in this last year and am terrified of miscarrying a healthy baby.
MW did suggest detailed scan but "in a few weeks". I don't think I can wait that long if it turns out there is a problem. As it is we've told no-one about the pg but it's starting to show (luckily I'm fat anyway so it's not quite so obvious). I don't want to announce it only to miscarry/ have to terminate.
nuchal measured 1.5mm. They don't check nasal bone locally but scan picture shows it has one.
