Who did/did not get an NT scan??

Thanks ladies,
I am going to get a referral from my doctor and not continue with the midwifes referral.
Im not feeling to good about having a downsyndrome baby. I wont be able to handle it.
I would want to know what the out comes are.
How ever I am going to talk to my mother and see what her opinions are. She had 5 children and had her last baby at age 37.
DH and I wouldnt be financially prepared for all medical outcomes.
 
I had the NT test and I was so glad I did, I wanted to know either way, I think it would be just awful to think you're expecting a healthy baby and being handed one with an obvious disability like downs syndrome when it was completely unexpected. My risk came back at 1:9300 and it was very reassuring to see that figure.
 
Im just going to keep positive. whats done is done now. All there is, is just for the baby to grow more every day.

That was the whole reason I had it done. My age being the biggest factor and the fact it's baby number 5. This pregnancy was not planned, an utter shock. I had my family and would not be able to cope with a child with a disability, nor financially support them. My combined risk was low but not in the 1000's like some. I was 1:797 and the consultant (consultant led care because of age), has recommended that I just have my 20 week anomaly scan. I don't drink, nor smoke and am healthy, so I'm not worrying myself anymore.
Good luck to you. :hugs:
