nuchal and blood test for downs etc

[rubyfeet]

So came back 1 in 5000 for downs and 1 in 7000 for other syndromes.

I'm neurotic- after a miscarriage last year and finding out my partner has 2 % sperm morphology after fertility investigations. I have been worried about another miscarriage and also that something will be wrong with the baby.

I know, pathetic!

So, my test results should make me feel more positive- and they do. But, midwife said that the test was 70 % accurate and I know of people who have been high risk and then done NIPT test and been low risk.

So, it can happen the other way round- the test could be inaccurate and my risk factor may be higher.

Was surprised at risk given I will be 39 when baby arrives- I keep saying if- so positive aren't I?

Any thoughts for a neurotic woman?

Thanks, both.

I'm not sure what I would do until faced with the realness of it all. Am considering harmony test- would have to travel quite far though and £400 quid. Also, thinking- that worry will be cleared if all goes okay, then I will move onto next one!

Thought it was just me!
