I also was diagnosed high risk with DS at the 12 week scan. I don?t know what my baby?s neck measurements were but the dr?s told me it was combination of the measurement my age (26 at the time) and my blood test that gave me the high risk measurement.

I can so relate to how you are feeling right now. We chose to have the amnio test but had to wait till I was about 15 weeks to reduce the risk of miscarriage. I can tell you that it was the longest 2 weeks of my life.

A friend of mine who went through the same thing said something to me that made me feel a little better during the whole process. ?This is NOT a diagnosis just a possibility, if you were betting on a horse and it only had a 1 in 28 chance of loosing those are still pretty good odds.

I know there is nothing I can say that will make your anxiety go away until you know for sure but I will be thinking about you tomorrow and hoping that everything goes well for you.

I saw the article on the TV that the other ladies were referring to and I have to agree with what the Dr on that program was saying. A VERY LARGE majority of these positives are false positives and put the mum and dad under so much stress while they wait for these results of further testing, not to mention the risk involved with the test itself.

I wish you the best of luck with your test, the strength to deal with what ever the outcome and courage to make what ever decisions that needs to be made.

For the record my son was born healthy.
