high risk of downs

Hi ladies, had the most amazing 12 week scan yesterday... Beautiful baby was sucking its thumb and being all dramatic with its hand on its head. We were told there and then that the nuchal fold was thickened at 3.9.mm and sent for blood tests. Told would need to wait until tuesday for results so went for another private scan. Felt much better after a more through scan and was told although the stat at that point wasn't brilliant 1 in 52 from everything he'd seen (no heart and bowel problems nasal bone present) he wasn't overly worried despite the thickening which he measured at 2.4. Went away feeling ok until bloods came back - my risk is now 1 in 9 and he's saying I should have cvs which is booked for Monday pm.
I'm so frightened and always said that if the baby had downs we'd have it and love it regardless but faced with the reality we're both really frightened but I'm equally scared about the thought of losing this baby through the cvs.

I don't really know what I expect from you all - I'm in a real tis.
Any words of wisdom appreciated x
