NT u/s Gave High Risk

[Pretty Butterfly]

I know exactly what it is like to be waiting for possible problems. It is heartbreaking. I was told at one scan Kane was 100 % perfect, then told he may have problems just a few weeks later

There are no words, just the knowledge that we can only wait and pray for now. I wish you and your family all our love and thoughts, and fingers crossed for the best result for your little bubba bean. Good luck csab

Hun. I was going to say the same thing as Trish... It is 27 / 28 chances that all is ok.
Try not to stress too much till after the CVS. Which I know you wont, but I had to say it anyway...
Thinking of you and sending all the positive vibes I can.

Hi Cheryl

Keep the hope darl - we are the same age (I think I am older!) - and I know that isnt a good starting point alone cos they use age in calcs.

There is a thread in general discussion - what was YOUR nuchal fold results (I dont know how to put the link in) - I felt better when I read that. And I have seen results from a 41yo woman whose results came back 1/38 (I think from memory) and nuchal lucency measured 3.8mm and she had an amnio and all was fine.

Just keep in your mind and heart it is screening, not diagnostic - so it just looks at markers, not actual bubs

From my reading (too much googling ) 3.4 is only just above the high end of normal.

Good luck and keep talking to bubs about staying put

Stress - I am convinced our bubs thrive on it now

Hope it all goes well.

cheryl, I posted in the older womens thread as well, the neck meausrement is not good or bad, up to 3 is consider normal, there are a few sites out there with lots of good info. women have had far worse measurements and gone on to have healthy babes, is this your combined results? I have everything crossed for you that all will be okay, sometimes there ar eother reasons for the higher measurement, reasons that can be treated once the baby is born eg:heart, have a read and try and ease your mind, good luck for Wednesday.

Cheryl OMG my heart just sank when I saw this thread! I hate knowing what a hard time you've had throughout the past 12 weeks, I was praying your scan would show you all was ok & no need to worry anymore!

Please don't give up hope, I've heard many stories about older woman getting the high risk on the NT scan & go on to have a H&H bubs.

I'll keep you in my prayers, I truely hope all your fears are cleared after your test on Wed, I'll be thinking of you hun.

Good luck & huge hugs!

A Friend of mine went through a similar situation only last week and was originally high risk - had the CVS done last Thursday and was given the amazing news on Friday that all is fine with the baby - have faith and be kind to yourself - this is totally out of your control - all you can do is pray and think good thoughts - I know easier said than done but give it a try OK

PS - Make sure they fast track your results too - they can do this I think you just need to ask

Thankyou all for your such amazing support and for your kind hearts. I am finding this really hard, much harder than what I thought I would. I am trying hard to be positive and to think that I will be one of the 27, not the one of one. This outcome has been going over and over in my head, and the thought that I could end up losing my baby just cant escape my mind. I so want to be strong for this baby, yet I am failing again.
The hospital are making arrangements for the results to be done quickly due to the time frame we have due to my previous c/s's as if I wait any longer then it would be too late to do anything under the circumstances. The possibility of m/cing a healthy baby is also there and playing havoc with my mind and emotions. How can I get thru this? I feel like I cant cope anymore. My eyes feel like they are burning and my head and heart are aching.
Thanks again everyone, as soon as I have a result, which I am praying will be a positively healthy baby result I will let you all know. Hugs
