Higher reading for Nuchal translucency scan - feeling panicked!

Hi all, Just been for our 12 week scan today and had the nuchal scan to test for Downs. The reading was 2.8mm. They said this was high, but not high enough to be classed as high risk without doing a blood test. I had a blood test afterwards, but the results won't be in til Friday. I am just really worried now that there is something wrong with the baby. I'm 36, so no spring chicken, and had a heartbreaking time with my first pg, after severe abnormalities were diagnosed at the 20 wk scan and we had a termination. I have since had a healthy lovely little girl, but I'm scared again. Has anyone else had high nuchal reading, was it ok?

I know this was posted ages ago, but for people reading for research...i was 46 when i had my last baby, i had a measurement of 3.1 and i had a reverse flow in the placenta (a marker for Downs ) so with these things plus the blood test it gave me a 1:5 chance for Downs. My daughter, now 2.5 is a perfect, bright, inquisitive little girl...just goes to show huh?
