FTS result intermediate risk due to age but blood test and scan results were fine.

I just received a call from the hospital stating that my FTS results was intermediate risk 1 in 800 due to my age as currently im 40 years old this year. But they informed my blood test results and the scans look fine. Its due to my age they place me as intermediate risk and encourage me to take the NIPT test. I asked myself if i need to because even if the results wont be good, i insist on still keeping the baby. I dont know if its even necessary to take the nipt. Or does it tell if it will endanger me when im delivering the baby or this tells all about the baby condition only?

To me, i feel NIPT test will prepare me for a special needs child if I insist on having high risk baby. You will have more time for mental and emotional preparation and can start looking up resources to aid you in bringing up the child. For now, positive mindset is most important! My friend was 27 and at high risk for down syndrome but baby came out perfect! She is turning 4 yrs old this year.
