Had my nuchal today and, based on my blood test (normal) and scan findings (nuchal fold 3.5mm, plus reverse flow in heart) they gave me a risk of 1 in 6 for T21 (Downs Syndrome) Having already lost one baby to a chromosomal abnormality, I opted for the CVS, which went well. Several hours have passed and I'm not in any pain so not scared of m/c.
Then they sent me to a cardiac expert for a more detailed heart scan. She said that the baby's heart was fine and that she could not see any sign of the reverse flow that the NT scanner had seen. So surely this would decrease the risk somewhat?
Other than the large nuchal fold, there were no other markers - nasal bone was present etc etc
So now I just have to hold out until next week to get the test results. I guess in the meantime I am just looking for other women to share their experiences. Anyone been given such a high risk and then been okay?
thanks
