1:17 risk Down's Syndrome

[Lady H]

No experience Pmom but I hope it resolves for you quickly. sounds like he is seeing no other markers xxxx

I'm so sorry you are going through this.
It is nerve wracking. I'm going through the same thing.
I have decided to just stay positive at this point. Baby deserves to be happy and feel happy thoughts while he's safe in there.

I've been told today that I have a 1:8 risk if downs following my NT reading and blood results. I opted for the CVS and await the results.

Terrifying and emotional times x

Was given a 1 in 19 chance after second trimester blood work came back. I panicked and panicked. I will be turning 33. Got rushed in for a dating ultra sound only to find out I was 6 days earlier then I thought. Dr. Said it was not enough to redo the blood work but probably made a big difference. After talking to a genetic councillor, decided to have an amnio. Got the fish test results today and all came back clear!!!! What a relief only someone who is going through this really knows what it's like.

My test came back as 1/40 risk (1/110 on age alone, I'm 38). I had the Harmony blood test done last week (£650 later) and have another week to wait for the results. I didn't want an amnio as didn't want to risk the baby. I'm 14+5. I love this little baby, it's my first, it took 2.5 years to conceive, so whatever happens I will love and care for the baby even if he/she is not perfect.

It is just horrible waiting though. I actually said to my parents the other day that I just want to go to a desert island with the baby and for everyone to leave me alone!

Stupid statistics just freaking everyone out are not really helpful.

I had a 1:5 back in Jan from quad test, and I had the amnio which showed baby had DS. We took the decision to end the pregnancy. I know that choice isn't for everyone, but the reason I'm posting is that if anyone has any questions please just ask. I gave birth to her at 17.5weeks.

I I know of a lot of women who have had high risk odds and had a baby without ds. During my last pregnancy I had low risk odds and no soft markers yet gave birth to a baby girl with Down's syndrome diagnosed post natally. She is ten months old and an adorable addition to our family.
Also wanted to be here to offer a balanced view of what it's like to have a child with Down's syndrome for anyone who finds themselves in the situation and doesn't wish to terminate.
Chances are tho that baby will be fine. The whole odds thing is pretty inaccurate!
