Anxity from NIPT results

Hi everyone, just looking for reassurance really. At my 12 week scan I was told i had a chance of 1 in 26 for Downs. This is a high chance result for my group. This means means that baby has approximately a 96.2% chance of not having Down Syndrome and a 3.8% chance of having Down Syndrome. I had a NIPT test and the results came back as ‘low’. So I feel relieved, but I wasn’t given any detail to what low is - no stats or anything to quantify it. My pregnancy anxiety has now just started going in a spin about false negatives, etc. Has anyone else experienced this, any advice or could explain if I am completely overreacting. I’m feeling it hard to bond with my baby because I have this at the back of my mind 😕

I had a 1 in 35 chance for DS and a 1 in 10 for abnormalities. i opted for the amniocentesis test as it gives a definite answer. I found from weeks 12-16 so so difficult. Reach out to your midwife i got referred for councelling.

Hi Iv just had this and it came back 1-33 for us, I need some reassurance because all Iv been doing is crying x
