Anyone had a postive downsyndrome screening?

I had a normal down syndrome test done but from my understanding its not a 100 percent accurate. So i went with a second test i believe they tested the babys cells? And that as well came out postive. The doctor gave me about 98 percent chance of having a down syndrome baby. I took the needle test yesterday but wen they did the ultersound there was only one soft marker which her femur was measuring small. Im stressed out only bc i dont know what to expect. Can the test be wrong? I wont know till monday but its killing me. The babys cells came back as showing postive and my husband is basing it as a yes on that. Im still in denial. Im 26 and this is my 6th baby. Anyone any suggestions?

I had the harmony test and my 1st was suppose to have down syndrome. The only reason I wanted to know was for records. She came out and she didn't have downs. They said sometimes things happen and you don't get a great reading. Only way to know 100 percent is the amnio

Amniocentesis I believe is the only 100% accurate one. My friend got a 75% chance of having a baby with Down syndrome with the blood work and she did the amnio which they told her he didn't have downs. .  I know you will love your baby no matter what but I totally understand your feelings.

Down syndrome or not your baby is still beautiful. I heard there not always accurate but try not to think too much about the results. I'm on baby #2 and would love my child just the same as my first if they had down syndrome. Their still my child.
