First about me. I am 40 years old and this is my second pregnancy. I am due on June 25th. I went for a nuchal translucency screening when I was 11 weeks pregnant. I also had a blood test as well in conjunction with the Nuchal. I got a call back from the doctor telling me the nuchal test (testing the thickness of the fluid in baby's neck) was fine. We just needed to wait for the blood results. They came back this week and I got upsetting news. It turns out I have a slight risk for carrying a DS baby. My doctor said the Nuchal test "meant nothing" but still advised me to go forward with the amnio when I am 16 weeks on January 7th. Of course I am freaked out! Has anyone else had this test with a positive reading and did the amnio turn out with a negative result for DS? This is really turning my holiday season upside down. I can use some comfort! Happy Holidays-Diana ? ↓
