Hi all, I am new to this site but I was hoping I could read or speak to someone in the same position as myself. I too got a high risk result back from my Nuchal scan and it was my bloods that pushed us into the High Risk category. The fluid around the babies neck was measured at 1.9mm which I researched the internet and found that, that is quite normal. I at first opted against having an amnio done as I thought it would be ok, but it seems every doctor/person I speak to asks if I am going to have any more invasive tests done. I haven't slept well for the last 2 nights as I keep thinking 'what if'. I ended getting my referral and booking in for my amnio today which is scheduled for next Friday. I am so nervous but I need to know if my baby is going to be ok, for my own piece of mind. I don't think I could go another 5.5months wonderign if the baby will be ok. I was very upset at the fact that the sonographers give you a ratio number instead of a percentage. For example, I am a high risk with 1:246 which is .04% chance of having a baby with down Syndrome or 99.6% chance of having a healthy baby. When you look at it like that it doesn't seem so bad, its the ratio numbers that make it look bad and scary! Anyway, that was just my little opinion.
