I’ve asked a similar question on here and got two responses saying, yes they got more than 1% chance and baby ended up fine- AND saying they refuse these tests in future pregnancies because of the unnecessary worry. With MY first pregnancy I got 1:568, and with my second I got 1:110 which is closer to 1%… I was a little freaked for a week but let myself forget about it. The neck measurement was 1.4 and normal range is 1.1-1.3… it’s a tiny little babe and I’m gonna cut him some slack. I also think purely your age ups the risk which is silly. I’m doing my follow up blood work at my 16 week appt. tmw and I’m not too worried anymore. Even with my first pregnancy when I got 1:568 the OB made me feel like it was borderline and said something like “we’d like it lower and we’ll check the blood work at 16 weeks.” I hope you’re able to relax and enjoy your pregnancy knowing you’ll do your best no matter what.
12 week routine blood work positive
Hi there!
Last week I completed the routine 12 week blood work. My doctor called and said my test came back at more then 1% and typically they like it less then that. He then orded me NIPT test (panorama maternity test) to look into it more. He told me not to worry but of course I am! Anyone else gone through this?

I just got my follow up 16-week Nuchal Screening bloodwork results that showed a “significantly decreased risk assessment”. 1 in 3300 for downs, 1:10000 for trisomy 18, and 1:2000 for neural tube defects. Also when I spoke with the midwife about the 12-week assessment she said the high risk cutoff was 1:50 or less.

Thank you! All the measurements on the ultrasound are fine its just the blood work. Pregnancy is such a rollercoaster....with my first baby I didn't even think about the what "ifs" this time is very different for some reason!

Also, the nuchal screening is completely optional- not necessarily routine.
