Positive quad screen

Jessica

My Panorama test came back inconclusive at 16 weeks. The nurse practitioner had me do the Quad screen, which came back with an increased risk for Downs.

I'm 37, with high blood pressure and gestational diabetes. We had an ultrasound a month ago, which looked normal. We have an anatomy scan on Friday, the 1rst.

My husband is very nervous, and expecting the worst. I'm waiting to see if the ultrasound shows anything. I think he's upset that I am not more anxious.

I've read that there is a high incidence of false positive results. But honestly, even if there are chromosomal abnormalities, it doesn't change anything for me.
