Alphafetoprotein (AFP)

[Livinginhope2019]

Hi everyone, After my quad test to test for downs etc. My results have come back with elevated alphafetoprotein which the midwife says could indicate a structural problem with my baby. She said that nothing is proven, that sometimes the test flags a problem when there isn’t one and has booked me in for a scan on Wednesday.

I’m 16 weeks tomorrow and trying not to panic! Has anyone else had this?
