Hi, can anyone offer me any advise help? went for my 21 week detailed scan on Friday, everything was going fine unitil the end when the sonographer said have you heard of soft markers, she said baby had two choroid plexus cysts one either side of the brain, she said cause I was over 36 ( im 38 ) they had to tell me as it is a link to downs syndrome, at this point I went in to shock she said I needed to speak to a midwife and took me to a counseling room. The midwife said the link is with Edwards Syndrome which is much much worse than DS my risk was 1/60 because of my age, I told her I had private NF scan and bloodtests and showed her my results which were 1/50000 for Edwards and 1/27000 for DS she then said she could recalculate my risk as 1/5555 for edwards and 1/20000 for DS. Because my risk was very low and there was only one soft marker I didnt need to do anything else and not to worry. Of course I am worried sick she told me cause there is only one soft marker and everything else on scan was fine combined with blood tests my risk was very very low, the cysts on there own she says are insignificant and almost always dissapear by 26 weeks and doesnt matter if they dont as 1% of adults have them and 2% of babies. I am contemplating an amnio as I cant stop worrying and cant cope with the thought of DS / Edwards, I already have high blood pressure so dont need all the extra worry. Many thanks for taking time to read this
