    Hi guys - has anyone received any further results?

    Rene did you speak to you doctor after the cvs?

    I've been told i'll need to have lots of follow-up scans to monitor the progress of the baby.

    I've decided to go with an obstetrician because i've been told i'm high risk and more at risk of stillbirth, IUGR, high blood pressure etc.

    It's pretty nervewracking, and I have found that i'm distancing myself from the pregnancy a bit, and putting off any further preparations until the next scan in three weeks. But I'm still trying to enjoy the pregnancy.

    I hope you are all staying strong and I'm wishing you the best of luck with your results and scans.

    Julie,

    Your daughter's nuchal fluid doesn't sound above average based on what i've been reading. I thought anything above 3.0 was more of a worry. Have you managed to find any statistics?

    Have you received the blood test results?

    blood results

    Hi Jess

    had blood results back today not good 1 in 40 chance of baby being d/s going for amniocentesis test tomorrow,she is devastated after going through IVF and get to 13 weeks, she had private scans at 9, and 12 weeks and nothing showed up only on the nuchal scan , she has resigned her self to bad news so fingers crossed .Life does not seem fair at moment.

    Love Julie B

    1/40 isn't as bad as it initially sounds. That's only a 2.5% chance of DS and a 97.5% chance of everything being fine. I was actually talking to another friend of mine who had a baby last summer. She too had a low Papp-a and a high chance of DS but amnio revealed the baby was just fine and they now have a healthy and happy one year old girl. Hang in there,
