Hi
I'm 12+3 and have just got my results for the nuchual (sp) back. I'm classed as being high risk for downs with a 1:124 ratio. This means I have a 0.8 chance of having a baby with downs....
I can honestly say I don't think I've ever been as scared as when the woman on the phone said the words high risk...
But in reality, my risks are pretty low?? I'm so confused!
Plus, I have a neatly 9yo dd and a 6mo dd to think about possible implications, as well. I will admit to being very naive about downs so possibilities are all over the.place!
If I have the amnio, there is as much chance of them saying the baby has downs syndrome than me having a miscarriage...
Sorry, I'm rambling, what I would like to know is, if you got these results would you have the further testing??
I have no one in rl that I could turn to, my family would just tell me to abort at even that low odds, just because it could happen, dh is just saying he'll follow me, whatever choice.I have no friends I can really turn to about this.
So, wwyd? I apologize if my ramblings make no sense but I'm a little agitated about it. Even though I'm probably panicky about nothing!!
