12 week scan showed exomphalos (bowel growing on the outside) . Beta hcg was 3.2 and PappA 0.5.
NT 1.4mm
Exomphalos increased the risk to 1 in 4 for T13 and 18 and 1 in 101 for DS.
Had a CVS and results show it has DS. How can this be right... low NT and no other physical defects on the scan and my blood markers normal from what I can work out online. Is there any chance they got this wrong?!?!?! I have a TOP booked but I'm worried they've got it wrong

Hiya I had this, the NT measurement was In normal range, no structural or organ abnormalities on the scan. However CVS showed monosomy 9 and trisomy 20. I have had 2 CVS's and they're very accurate unfortunately :( I thought they got it wrong but it was correct. Its hard to believe when everything is so 'normal' but It can happen. I'm so sorry xx
Thank you for replying. I'm sorry you've been there too xxx

Hi, I’m really sorry you’re in this situation - it’s so so hard. My NIPT results so a high probability of T21. Went for a scan today and NT was 3mm so just as the cusp of the ‘normal’ range, but baby looks completely healthy otherwise. I had the CVS today to confirm T21 diagnosis but in my heart I know the NIPT is right. We have decided we won’t continue with the pregnancy once it’s confirmed, but it’s the most painful thing I’ve ever experienced. Sending love to you
@Gem I'm so sorry you're going through this too, it is awful. I have my procedure tomorrow. Sending you so much luck and strength xx

I hope you’re doing ok after today, sending you love and support during such a difficult time xx
@Gem thank you, haven't really been on here since, it was too triggering. I hope you are doing OK as well xxxx
