Hi, I was just wondering if anyone else on here has had a strong indication of Down's and continued with their pregnancy?
We were 1 in 5 at 12 weeks based on absent nucal bone and very low papp-a, at our 20 week that has gone up to 1 in 4 as apparently there is a hyposplastic nasal bone, which I understand to mean one half has not developed and the other half is very small. We have had screening both on the NHS and privately at the fetal medicine center under Professor Nikolaides.
The consultant and midwife seem very much of the view our baby does have down's and we are seeing a fetal cardiologist next week. Obviously it isn't great news, but it could be far worse. We are not having an amnio as we don't want to risk miscarriage, and would not terminate in any event.
I would just love to hear from anyone else that has had the same kind of results and continued, and maybe had a down's baby, as most of my friends are more of the mindset of having an amnio and terminating in these circumstances. It would just be lovely to know we're not the only ones that choose to do this really.
Thanks in advance.
