My combined nuchal resulted in a 1:10 risk factor for Downs. This was mainly due to the nuchal measurement as my bloods were good. There were no other soft markers.
Instead of a diagnostic test I opted to have the Harmony test as it was risk free. It gave us a great 1:10,000 result. The private clinic also re-fed the nuchal measurement and got a much better result. We were comforted.
The 20 week scan looked great, no soft markers.
Now I'm 38 weeks and scared of the birth as I keep imagining the moment my baby appears and the doctors having to break it to us that he does have disabilities. I'm having terrible dreams.
I seem to have lost confidence in Harmony, there was a thread on here about some false negatives and that is what started me worrying again.
I'm not sure why I'm posting, I guess I just needed to get this off my chest.

38 weeks after 1:10 combined test result, suddenly terrified of birth and wishing I had amnio.
