Some upsetting news today..anyone else had this happen?

Hugs! That must be hard! I opted out of testing so I don't know, but I do remember my midwife telling me a positive on that test did not mean baby would have DS. Just try to think positive and enjoy your pregnancy. I have a Special needs child myself so I believe no matter what happens it will be ok.

1/150 = 0,66 % chance (if I'm not mistaken).

It's obviously your choice what you decide from now on, but like others already pointed out - some get a 1/5 chance of DS, and still the baby turns out OK.

Wishing you all the best

I know how you feel; my bloods came back 1 in 38 for Tri21, though nuchal measurements were fine. We declined an amnio and are playing the wait and see game. I believe she'll be okay. Obviously, we don't know, but the 20wk anatomy scan showed no soft markers and my auntie also had high risk results in one of her pregnancies and her baby was 100% healthy, so other than the odd passing thought, I don't really think about it any more. Just eager to meet our baby.

We had a nonevasive test done at 10 weeks called materniti21. The results came back good with no indication of downs. This test is new but more accurate than the nuchal scan with bloods. I've had 2 more ultrasounds since then and baby looks good. I'm 24 weeks pregnant but taking p17 injections to avoid having another preemie.
