Hope you don't mind me posting again, I still get notifications from my app when people post in here and like to keep up with your journeys from time to time, rooting for you all and I couldn't read and run.
Mumofsix I am so so sorry to hear your sad news. I'm thinking of you all at this extremely difficult time. Sending you all my love and best wishes.

Ladies, need some advice - Midwife just called to let me know I am at risk for Downs Syndrome (Their cut off is 1 in 150 and my test came back as 1 in 130) so they want to have me in on Monday for a consultation about CVS and possibly do the procedure right then and there. I am so shocked and really scared as to what it all entails as I was low risk with my boys.

Does anyone have any experience with this? I am so worried about miscarriage too!

Just saw this through new posts- just to put this into perspective, you have a less than 1% chance of your child having DS. At 1.130, that is a .76% chance so a 99.24% chance all is well!

You can ask for a 4D scan and see if there are any other soft markers like a heart defect. If there are no soft markers seen, then you can decide to have a CVS or not. There are so many things that can affect the "test"- remember it is not diagnostic and simply an odds generator and most are false positives(it's not actually a positive though!).

Sam, absolutely devastating news. I'm so sorry. There are no words. I really hope you have support. Heartbroken for you honey. Hugs xxx

Sweet mummy you poor thing how scary stephk just had the same thing I think she was 1 in 90 she chose to do a medical scan and her baby is 100% healthy. I too would advise this option before rushing into CVS so many things can affect the downs test your age, if the sonographer did not do the measurements properly etc etc. X

Sweet mummy My sister had her son in jan. She had a 1:17 risk from the nuchal tests. She was told she would never have children so didn't do the cvs as he was her miracle. He was perfect at birth. I fell pg just after he was born. After all the worry during her pg, and with the ds risk clouding her pg, I opted to pay £600 for the harmony to get peace of mind. It was only the day or 2 before the section that I started to think about it. Good luck xx

Sweet Mummy what a shock. I would be taking up the other girl's suggestions. My friend has a son with Downs & absolutely nothing came up on the Original test. I have several friends who got high risk results & like you & they all turned out to be nothing at all so I think it has a lot of variables &
Inconsistencies.

[Sweet mummy]

Thanks for your responses and advice girls! DH and I are doing our research and I already know whether baby has it or not we are keeping it, whereas hubby is very reluctant and wants me to do the test no questions asked.

I'm going to the consultation on Monday and see what they say. My gut says nothing is wrong but better to hear them out. I'd much prefer a medical scan than something invasive. This pregnancy has just thrown me for a loop compared to the boys! Will keep you all updated on what we decide...feeling quite numb to it all but hopeful xx
