My friend had the same test and it said she was high risk and had to go get more testing just to find out the baby was perfectly fine.....They base the test on the what the average percent of pregnant women result which isn't that effective because everyone is different

I regret ever getting that test! My blood test came back positive but the ultrasound showed no signs. All that test did was make me worry like crazy!

With my first son I was told I had a 1 in 5 chance that he would have Down syndrome and he came out just fine and now is a happy healthy three year old :)
