High nuchal fluid in 2 out of 3 pregnancies

[SammyRo]

Hi SammyRo - I know it doesn't necessarily mean that they will be incompatible with life, but that was what we were told if the baby has trisomy 13 or 18. We had the harmony blood test on friday so will know results hopefully within the week. I am ok with having a child with Down Syndrome, but still scared of the unknown! I just don't want to lose them to trisomy 13 or 18. Just hate the waiting and unknown. Thanks for your post xx

I've heard stories of parents being told all sorts of things that aren't necessarily true, especially in relation to Down Syndrome, so I probably jumped to conclusions!
Yes, the unknown is scary. We were told the nuchal fold could have been a number of things, and I was ok with everything as long as we didn't lose the baby. Let me know the results, and if you are blessed with a baby with Down Syndrome, there is a great online community I can get you in touch with.
