Yeah, half a good news. Today result shown I'm considered intermediary risk for having a D.S baby not high risk of what the phone called nurse told me, chances are 1:917 and my baby size is just alright do not have any abnormal size or defect. Thus I did another blood test to double confirm, and I Will be knowing the result and baby gender in 2 weeks time. I know everything will be okay. Thanks Buddha blessing. Thank you all the mommies who answered to my questions and comfort, thank you so much.

Thank you so much, I will take gd care of myself and baby. But still in pending of my 2nd blood test result to see if baby got any d.s problem. Still slightly worried of it.

All test will show risk of DS, just how high the risk. Should consult with your gynae if need to do NIPT and what’s the acceptable risk level for your age group before deciding.

Have u taken NIPT test? If not, I presume they will ask you to do the test. It has higher accuracy then Oscar / 12wk blood test at the hospital

They are all screening tests. Dr may suggest amniocenthesis , which is diagnostic
