Hi everyone
I've been having a bit of a time of it recently. My 12 week scan showed a nuchal fold measurement of 5.3, which is very high. Although my bloods came back not massively too high/low, I was told I had a 1 in 2 chance of the baby having Downs.
This was a bit of a shock, despite my age (42!) I went into the scan without really thinking through what the results could be.
Anyway, I went for a CVS last week and got the initial results back 3 days later, negative for Downs, Edwards and patau. We were so relieved, but I had a phone call today to say the sample they took hasn't grown and they can't test for anything esle.
So... do i put myself through an amnio? (the cvs really freaked me out!) Can I trust the initial results of the CVS?
Does a high nuchal fold indicate any other problems apart from the 3 reported on the CVS? And heart problems?
I just want to relax and enjoy this pregnancy and be able to share it with other people!!
