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 😕

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
Hi, not sure if you’ve had any further results, but thought I’d share my story to try and offer reassurance. Nuchal fluid was increased at 12 week scan. That combined with all the other factors gave me a 1:2 chance of all 3 syndromes. Not just one of them. Not sure in paper the chances can get much higher. Sent me spiralling. Opted for the CVS as we were under feral medicine who were incredible. All came back clear! Currently 34 weeks 💚 good luck x
@Cee just had my nipt results come back high risk but my sonogram was good. I'm trying not to worry, but been in tears. Thanks for sharing your journey.
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.
