Hoping anyone else might have been in this situation and be able to advise.
I was offered an NHS dating and nuchal screening scan when I would have been 13+5 which is fine except that I have really chronic anxiety and it would have meant getting any bad news whilst I was away on holiday with my friend the following week (I'm a teacher and the holiday had been planned for the start of the summer before I got pregnant).
My partner and I discussed it a lot and decided to pay for a private scan and I know we're very lucky to be a position to be able to choose.
I got the results back this afternoon and whilst it's very low risk for Down's, Patau and Edwards it turned up low levels of Papp A which can indicate problems with the placenta later in pregnancy.
The problem is I now don't know what to do with the information. The report says I need to refer it to my midwife and they will probably prescribe aspirin but I haven't been even be able to find a number for her and have been just moved around from wrong phone number to wrong phone number. I feel like I'm just being a nuisance. I don't know whether to just call my GP on Monday and beg for some advice. I know it might be frowned upon that I got it done privately. I'm now really glad I did get it done earlier as finding this out on holiday would have been really bad but maybe I was also naive to think I'd be able to do anything with the results. I'm also currently waiting for some worrying antibody results to come back at the moment. :(
Thanks xxx
