Hi I got a high risk for ds on my quad.  My ratio was 1:23 chances. Im so scares beyond belief. I dont know what to think. I got a verifi blood test done today and will have results by monday. Im just so scared. Isnt that a super high risk?

i had the same fears during my pregnancy.  i still held out hope of course that she didn't have DS, but she did and you know what????  she is the best thing to ever happen to me.  she is 3.5 yrs old now and still the sweetest, most caring, beautiful child ever.  it is NOT a curse, it is a blessing.  
the fear and worry and anxiety i had my entire pregnancy was a huge waste of precious time.  i would not change a thing about her.

Did you get your results back? I go in for my level 2 ultrasound tomorrow. I'm 1 in 12. Had the markers with my first but he did not have DS

Hi!
Naturally you are apprehensive. Unless there is a strong family history, and you are having the first pregnancy after 35 years of age, screening test alone will not be diagnostic of Down's Syndrome. Yes, the risk is high, but this is just a risk. Further blood tests and amniocentesis will be required for confirmation. Please discuss with your doctor. Try to not worry much until you have all the results (easier said than done). Take care!
