violet 73 · May 15th, 2008, 03:04 AM

as she did my afp test , i really hope it comes back ok , if it came back high risk then i would have to consider a amino & i don,t really want one of them done if i can avoid it she said when you have amino done there is a one in 150 chance of mc , she did say if it came back high risk then someone would be in touch with in the next 3 days but does that count weekend to , im such a worrier in this pregnancy

Would you have the amnio? Just curious. Sounds like you would. I would be too afraid.

Aw hun

i would say it would be 3 working days (so not the weekend) but i may be wrong xxx

yeah i think i would toriaaaaaa as i would be worrying all the way through my pregnancy otherwise but what scares me is that the mc risk & also amino is surposed to really hurt . violet xx

That's why I didn't even have the initial test, so I wouldn't have to worry about high risk / low risk.

I think an other lady on here had the amnio the other day, and she didn't say anything about it hurting. I think it was Charlie07. I'd weigh up the odds, and say the test comes back 1 in 300 high risk and the amnio is 1 in 150 miscarry then I wouldn't have the amnio. Just a personal thought though. But good luck, and I'm sure it will be fine hon

thanks gde they say if it comes back under 1 in 250 then thats classed as high risk , you see i have to have afp test when i was 20 i had this test done it come high risk went for scan found out that babys brain had not developed properly so i had to terminate him so if i had not of had this test i might not of found out , they blamed it on me not taking folic acid so thats why i always have the test now but i have had 3 kids since the termination & had afp test with all of them & its always come back normal so hopefully it will this time but i am that bit older now to . violet xx

Takes 2 weeks for results to come back here. You don't HAVE to have the amnio test if you don't want to.

well midwife says that if its high risk they will contact you within a few days but ifs its normal they will send letter out within 2 weeks . violet xx

Your lucky. I know someone who's in her 30's and she had to pay £300 to get her results early so she could get amnio done. Turned out her baby is fine though after she had it.
