High risk *sensitive* positive stories please

We had our 12 week scan this week, all was perfect measuring 2 days ahead. We were told no cause for concern, the neck measurement was well within range and not to worry. I’ve just had a call to say we are high risk for Down syndrome with a 1 in 20 chance. We are going to go for further non invasive testing. Our embryo was a grade C multi nucleated embryo and I’m really upset and worried. Any positive stories out there?

Hi Lovely. I know it's so worrying to hear news like that but try not to panic - you still have a 19 in 20 chance of baby not having Downs. There is a high risk pregnancy board on the Baby Centre community, I'm sure there will be lots of ladies on there who have been in a similar position and plenty who will have had a positive outcome. All the best xx

Thank you. We’re going for further testing tomorrow x

Hey hun, I know this is scary but think of it this way....there are 19 blue marbles in a bag...1 of those is red. Chances are way more than likely to pull a blue marble out of the bag. Everyone is different, but I would be more than happy to have a downs baby. They are amazing humans 💖 but think positive xxx

Still a high chance your baby hasn’t got Down’s syndrome even though you’re in the high risk category so sit tight for further tests. I have worked with many babies and toddlers with Down’s syndrome and they have all been so happy and full of life and keen to learn - always so excited to see me. Xxx
