No numbers on nuchal results, just says 'lower risk'

Got the results letter and bit disappointed there was no numbers at they probably class lower risk as more than 1 in 150 or something, I wanted exact figures just to be sure. Has anyone else had this?

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I’ve had 2 children and didn’t get a ‘score’ with either of them, just a letter saying ‘low risk’. Currently 14 weeks with my third so will see what I get this time!

I’d not be happy with that... you’ve made me make a mental note to ask about this.. I’d definitely want to see figures.

Can they recheck the results and give you more specifics?

In got the same. In some ways I think it might be better.... I'm not worrying if I got a score of 1:300 vs 1:30,000

NotAsGreenAsCabbageLooking different trusts have different policies. If there policy is to not give a risk ‘score’, I’m pretty sure that’s final. Could be wrong though.
I was happy with being told I was ‘low risk’. No room for overanalysing.

Wish I'd had that! I got a number which is "low risk" but at the much higher end of low risk, so I've been (most probably completely unnecessarily) worried

Possibly at your next midwife appointment they will discuss the results? That's what I was told would happen at my 16 week appointment but my baby had a high NT and I had a 1 in 5 risk of Down's so I'd already had full discussion of my results and additional tests and scans by the time I saw her (baby is fine). Seriously, low risk is low risk. Even at 1 in 5 there was an 80% chance baby didn't have Down's, so at anything lower than 1 in 150... really no need to panic.
