Hi
I had my 12wk scan on the Jan. 14th, fri I received a call from my dr office that my results came back 1:230 chance for Down's syndrome. I felt like I had the wind knocked out of me. I was able to go into the dr office the same day & take the MaterniT21 blood test & I should have the results in 7-14days. I'm 33 (I'll be 34 in Feb) I know that age is a factor but I was a bit dumbstruck & didn't think to ask for the NT measurements or what my hormone levels were (I'll have it faxed to me mon). Has anyone been through something similar? Any advice? My SO has been a God send & telling me the odds are in our favor but I'm still a little concerned. Regardless of the outcome we won't terminate the pregnancy. It's just a little difficult to give up the baby I've dreamed & imagined in my head for so many years.....he or she will come in a slightly different package but will be loved the same. Anyone else have 1:230 odds? What was your outcome?
