'High risk' of Down's after 16 week blood test

[Hungrymama]

I was rung today by a midwife to tell me that I've got a one in 167 chance of having a Down's baby according to my triple blood test. How bad is this? She termed me as 'high risk'. Could anybody out there convince me that it's not so bad????????

i just wanted to tell you that a neighbour of mine was told that it was 90% certain she would have a baby with downsyndrome, she went ahead with the pregnancy and her baby daughter was absolutly perfect in every way{sounding like mary poppins} so proffesionals can be wrong hun
