High risk results for Downs Test - positive stories ?

I received a phone call today that my blood has come back as high risk for Downs Syndrome with a 1 in 34 chance . I have an appointment tomorrow to discuss what happens next , tests etc. I think we are going to opt for private testing as I know there's a risk of miscarriage with an amniocentesis

Just wondering if anyone else has had similar results and gone on to have better results at the next testing ? I'm terrified ! Trying to stay optimistic but can't put it out of my mind

Congratulations on your test results. We had a similar scare at the 20 week scan so I know how difficult a time it is. Such a relief when you get a good result after Smile

Thank you 😊 still can't believe it's a boy ! Went to asda for a few things tonight and ended up grabbing some cute little dinosaur bibs that say 'a-roar-able' on. Haha

I know, I loved getting to know the baby's sex for certain as a bonus! Couldn't have dealt with crossed legs at the 20 week scan haha. Mine's a boy too. Smile

Yay congrats on your boy hipstercat!

Just been to visit my mum and she's bought a pile of boys stuff already haha! She's got 5 granddaughters already this is the first boy so think she might have been a bit excited to buy blue lol
