    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,
