So i had my bloods taken at the 16 week midwife appointment for the testing of down syndrome and spinal ambifida and the nervous 2 week wait is finally up. The results wouldn't have made any difference either way but we wanted them done and thought the test wasn't pointless but more a what if so we can be prepared on the chances...
Anyway the spinal ambifida results came back as really low and no further tests need to be done....
and..
The down syndrome percent was 1:4800... so pleased as the midwife said if it's 1:250 then they'd do more tests, but i wouldn't have let them do the amnio test anyway with the risks so i think we're safely in the low category lol.
I know you never know how baby is gna be once its born but i'm so pleased with the results been feeling rly protective about little bump lately and knowing if s/he is ok.... Now thats that waiting over, now just 2 weeks till we find out gender roll on 2 weeks!!!!! waaa hoooo
