APOLOGIES FOR ESSAY!!!
Hi, last Friday I had my 12 week scan. Baby was 5.5 cm and the neck measurement was 1.9mm. Sonographer midwife said that was perfect and although I had to jump up and down at one point to move the baby out of a position she was happy with the measurements she got. Diagnosis was normal development but then I had my bloods taken. Hospital rang on Monday to say I'm Hugh risk, low PAPP-A not very low but slightly below average and HCG hormone was slightly above average. My risk is 1 in 94 chance that baby is downs. Today, I had a CVS as recommended. I was fully aware of what it entailed and accepted miscarriage risk but I am a v stressful person and have been obsessing about baby's health since my BFP, without reason until now so it was best to get CVS done. I get my results in next 2 days. I am totally and utterly besides myself. I'm 29 it's my first baby and I'm very healthy. I asked them today if baby hasn't got downs then why the high risk result and she said it could be placenta problems and baby might not growth as well so will be 5/6lb when born which they could deal with or it might relate to high blood pressure in later pregnancy. Thing is my blood pressure has always been spot on and if anything slightly on low side. Any thoughts would be appreciated. I was so excited last Friday after keeping pregnancy a secret I put a photo of the scan on Facebook and now I will have to tell everyone and I don't think I can handle it. Xxxxxx
