Quad Screen Results

Hello, We just got our quad screen result back for Spina Bifida which was positive.....1:137....Anyone had similar numbers with a baby that was okay/ or born with Spina Bifida...I know this test yields alot of false positives...but I think I read where someone with 1:37 did not have it and 1:79 did have it....Any information would be greatly appreciated..We have a form 31 weeker that had alot of problems and I am not looking forward to another 3 month NICU stay.

I had a screen which showed 1:39 for Downs (not SB) and all was well.  These tests have a high rate of false positives.  You should do the Level II to check for soft markers and if there are any, you can do an amnio if you wish.  Good luck.
