QUAD Screen

Heather

Hello mamas and mamas-to-be. I am 16.3 weeks pregnant with my first baby. YAY!! My husband and I are very excited. I had blood drawn for my QUAD Screen on Monday @ 16.1 weeks and received the results today over Mychart (haven't heard from my midwife yet though). I'm a little confused on the results because it doesn't show what the "normal" values should be. I was wondering if anyone would be able to interpret these results??
