Screening for Down Syndrome - High result

Just got a telephone call from midwife to say that my screening tests came back showing high (1 in 22) chance of Down syndrome.

Anybody in a similar situation? She said mostly due to my Pap A being low.

Just waiting on more information on tests so that we can proceed.

I was not expecting this call, its really taken me by surprise. I opted out for my first pregnancy.

Any advice or support welcomed x

Hey girl, don't worry too much! I had the same with my last pregnancy. They will do another blood test which is more detailed, which then mine came back low. xx

Good morning, this is the most confusing telephone call to have. It’s happened to me in my last pregnancy.
Feel free to DM me. All you can do is have the NIPT and take it from there. Keep positive xxx

Hey ladies, I had my first scan yesterday and I came up as 1 in 39 high risk. I’m so confused and distraught 🥺🥺🥺
