Worried first time Mum

I’m writing this in hope of finding some advise / knowledge or situations similar to mine because I can’t help but over-think everything.

I’m 33 weeks pregnant and have just been for a growth scan which identified polyhydramnios (too much amniotic fluid) measuring at 10.9cm. Alongside this, my baby’s femur is measuring at 60.5cm which is fairly small.
After reading through endless sites on google these symptoms suggest that my baby has markers for Down syndrome.
Can anybody relate or advise on the likelihood of this?
Thanks xx

No advice for you, but can understand how worrying that is so bumping for you. Daffodil

I can't give any medical advice - did you have the test early on that tells you the probability of your baby being born with DS? I would try and stay away from Google as I find the information can lead you on a merry dance (it did with me and made me worry more). I would talk to your midwife about your concerns or to get any advice. I hope you have the support you need x

@Franxo hi! Sorry I know this is an old post but I am wondering if you could provide an update on your little one? Currently going through the same - high fluid at 10.2 and short femurs and I am worried sick!
