To Have The Downs Scan

[india44]

After the most stressfull 4 days of my entire life i Just got a call form the genetic counsellor. They had not added my weight into the algorythm for the risk level. After 9 years of steroid use I am considered morbidly obese ( such a lovley phrase) and this had a dramatic impact on my risk level.
I have gone form 1:16 for Downs to 1:232
and 1:49 for trisomy 13 and 18 to 1: 6032

Whilst still in the high risk for downs as we had no other markers at all on scan we have opted to not have the testing down and am now in a big puddle of tears..emotion bubbling over in releif.
Whilst I know there are no guarantess in life for anything I think I wil take this little bosst for now.
Thankyou to everybody for their wonderufl support.

Am resting now after the CVS scan. It felt a little uncomfortable - like a pap smear feeling but worse. The dr said she was very happy with the needle position. I may find out as early as tom. or have to wait 2 weeks. The sonographer reckons it was a boy but the test results will determine that 100pct.

So now have to wait. This is the worse part....

I have opted to have the Downs test. I am considered low risk by my doctor but still wanted to have the test. It will be the first time I see bubs so I'm excited yet scared.
