Hi all, I am just looking for some reassurance as I have all of sudden become so anxious! Im currently 17 weeks pregnant. I’m based in the UK and at my 12 week scan (where I was actually 13 weeks measuring a few days ahead) I had the combined screening test. NT came back as 2.3mm and scan looked fine. I the had bloods taken and got the results a week later. My results were 1/520 for down syndrome and 1/5000 for Edward’s and Patau's. Classed as low risk and no further tests needed. My PAPPA A was also 0.81 and classed as normal.
I never gave this a second thought or worry and recently had a 16 week private gender scan. She took a few measurements, confirmed the gender and didn’t raise anything suspicious. Everything in the report seems normal including size, head circumference, blood flow etc.
However, I recently came across a video of a woman saying her results for T21 were 1/44000. I’ve also asked friends who have had 1/5000 which I think is the new parameters (the lowest risk result you can receive is 1/5000). I didn’t realise women were getting such lower risk results compared to mine and this has made me incredibly anxious about my results. I don’t know if I am overreacting but I have been beside myself with anxiety now thinking the worse despite not given any reason to be concerned by professionals.
Just for context I’m 30 years old, test was carried out at exactly 13 weeks gestation and this is my first pregnancy.
Now I’m so nervous for my 20w anomaly scan dreading something is going to be wrong. Can anyone offer me any reassurance? Thank you.
