Hi everyone, yesterday I had my NT scan, everything looks fine however my blood results came a bit off and I have high risk for T21. I am waiting now for the results for the free cells DNA test and I'm freaking out. I lm so worried I haven't slept.
I need some sort of reassurance and some positive stories 🙏🏼 thanks

Try not to worry lovely, which I know is easier said than done. They will offer a more accurate test if it's high risk. If that also comes back as high risk, then you have the choice to confirm using a diagnostic test, which will give you a definite answer. So try not to panic too soon, and you're in control at every stage. X

Thank you 🙏🏼❤️

I hope you're okay and sending hopeful wishes for your results x

Hope all okay!

Try not to worry, in my previous pregnancy I came out on 1/160 on the nuchal translucency but 1/10,000 on the NIPT test which is way more accurate, and shows how widely different they can be. The NT takes into account several different things one of them being maternal age, I was 34 at the time of my last test and 37 now so I always come our higher than my actual risk. It’s anxiety provoking at the time though x

thank you! This was actually very reassuring ❤️🙏🏼

I have a baby girl with DS. We had a 1 in 2 chance, so 50/50. Your feelings are valid and the fear is unexplainable, so I understand.
But if I could go back now and if I was given the opportunity to have a baby without DS I wouldn’t choose, I would choose to have my baby girl over and over again with DS as she is amazing, and it really isn’t as scary as I thought it would be.
Good luck with everything and congratulations!
