Down’s syndrome - 1 chance in 1,819

I’ve had my results back (I’m 30) and I don’t know why I expected it to be 1 in 10,000... my chances of Edwards & Patau is 1 in 10,000.

Are these odds for Down syndrome high? Am I being silly thinking it is!?

First timer here and no idea what chance is high or low!

Thank you x

No that really low. Anything below 1:150 is high risk.

SpeccyLime · 03/11/2020 13:50

No, that’s really low. Mine came back something like 1/550 and I was told that was low.

Thank you both!

Mine was 1/5. After a torturous few months I gave birth to a healthy baby who didn't have Downs Syndrome.

I had 1/1200 at 32 in my first pregnancy and 1/170 at 34 in my second pregnancy - both of these are ‘low risk’ but because there was a massive difference between my results I had a harmony test for peace of mind.

Hi 🙂 I had literally identical risk for Downs Syndrome too. I haven’t given it another thought since the scan and I’m 36 weeks now. Plenty of people have risk results in that range (despite the internet being full of people with 1:10000000 type results ha!) and it’s very much low risk. Lower than your natural risk at age 30 certainly.

Congratulations!

Hello I think your results are good results

physicskate · 03/11/2020 22:04

So there's about a 0.00055% risk. That seems low to me!!

🤦‍♀️
