Nuchal Fold
Had our 20 wk ultrasound and was told we need further testing for poss down syndrome. Babies nuchal fold was 8.2 Has anyone else experienced this? What was your outcome? I still live and want this baby more than anything just looking for other experiences.
Thank you:)
I think that's a really positive thing to do. :)
Thank you ladies for your feed back. We are opting out of the test due to the risks. And in our eyes we will love this baby either way.
Not to worry. The screening has lots of false positives. My sister was prepared to have a down syndrome baby and she was born perfect. The screens are not the sure thing only the amniocentesis test. Don't get worked up about it yet. I opted out of the test due to such nerve racking ranges of numbers
Oh you poor darling. That's a worry. I don't know much about the fold but I do teach special needs and would just like to say that the kids with Down's are amazing. They're so loving and my favourite to teach. It's a scary and overwhelming thing for you to go through but regardless of the outcome, your baby will be a special little light in your life. Sending good vibes your way!
