Downs test

Hi. I just had my Downs report back and thankfully result said individual low risk 1:10000 but it also said for my age risk (I'm 39) the rush was 1:139. Does that mean 1 in 139 babies born to 39 are born with Downs?

Yes for every 139 people who are pregnant aged 39 one will have a baby with Down's syndrome.

Your risk is obviously lower

Your individual risk is great. Mine (34) is 1:5546. My age-only risk is 1:500.
