Nuchal Scan results.

[tweety pie]

I have been so worried about my scan results and blood test for downs syndrome, so worried that we haven't told anyone yet that i am pregnant although it's now getting really hard to hide.
Yesterday we got the results and i was almost crying with joy.
Twin 1 1 - 7600 risk
Twin 2 1 - 9400 risk of downs.
I was amazed at those figures and can now tell people i am pregnant

They're great results. Do you mind me asking how old you are? I'm 39 and dreading my scan.

No of course i don't mind hun. I am also 39 and i thought my age would automatically put me high risk but obviously not so try not to worry.

Thanks ladies.
OH home today from working away so we are going to ring round all our family/friends and finally tell them i am pregnant..... at last
My results came back exactly a week after scan /blood test, my mid-wife did push for a speedy result so don't worry if yours are a little longer.

Congratulations. I was worried sick too and my downs risk came back at 1:8796. Im 39 too. I know its no guarantee of anything but relieved was an understatement. Really pleased for you. x

p.s My results took 5 weeks due to them "being busy". (I was not impressed!)

Sunshine What excellent results it does make you feel so much better and less stressed, but 5 weeks what a long time to wait i would have been pulling my hair out.
