    Just read your thread now. We had bloods come back as 1/24 and I decided not to do the amnio. The 16 week ultrasound came back with good nasal bone and soft markers, but a bright white bowel (as bright as bone). Which indicated either down's, cystic or the baby had swallowed blood when I'd had a bleed in first trimester. We did blood testing and saw a genetic counsellor and managed to rule out Cystic. The 20 week scan was pretty good and the bowel wasn't as bright white. I've had the 34 week growth scan and the placenta and blood flow is fine and they're not so concerned about the echogenic bowel. I'm pretty sure it was just the blood that the baby ingested and that's where it sits in the bowel. It doesn't do any harm, but does come up bright white on the scan.
    Good luck for the rest of your results and the20 week scan.
