Hiya,
I’m a 37 and 51 week year old, experiencing my first pregnancy. I have a bmi of 42 and an underactive thyroid. I had my 12 week scan at the start of this week which was absolute wonderful to see our baby for the first time.
Nuchal measurements came in at 1.8mm and then I had bloods taken for a combined screening test.
The midwife rang me today to say I was classed as high risk with a 1/21 chance of downs. My PAP-A came back as a low reading too of 0.24. The whole conversation went by in a blur as I was felt really overwhelmed.
I have been very upset since getting in from work and my partner has now booked an NIPT scan for this Sat. I’m so Unbelievably worried / sad after today and the thought of an invasive diagnostic following an NIPT is causing nothing but anxiety.
Anyone gone through a similar experience? Any guidance or advice?
Thank you, Livvy xx
