    With DS it was 1:2800 and I was only 27 so I thought that was low.

    With DD it was 1:7000 and my OB joked I was getting younger (I was 30)

    I was told they only get concerned when it is lower than 1:300, but everyone I spoke to had much higher numbers than mine so I was a tiny bit worried, as you do. I am blessed with two healthy kids.

    All the best

    Mine came in at 1/37 for DS - due to age (41) and a 4.2 nuchal fold measurement. At my age the risk factor was something like 1/45 anyway so it didn't alter it much. Can't remember what the one for all the other chromosonal stuff was but it was in the thousands - way better than the average for my age. I had an amnio and no abnormalities were found. Everything they check at around 22 weeks was normal and in fact growthwise he's 5 days ahead of schedule.

    Not sure how high it goes up to but anything under 1/300 is considered high risk and further investigations should be carried out.
