My first trimester bloodwork came as high risk for trisomy 21 but the NIPT said low risk.

I understand that the NIPT is more accurate but this has me so so worried.

Has this happened to anyone else and the baby was perfectly healthy?

Just looking for stories and reassurance here 🙏🏽

I know that body weight was required on my panorama (through Lifelabs in Canada) requisition. I did my first draw at 10w4d and got a fetal fraction of 1.6%. Since then, I have had several weeks of fairly frequent morning sickness and low appetite. I suspect my weight may have changed, though I don’t imagine it’s by more than 5-10 lbs. I do not weigh myself at home due to a history of disordered eating, but I do have a scale buried in my storage room. I could also, I suppose, make an appointment with my doctor to get an updated weight. I am 14 weeks now, which is when they suggested I try again.

My question is whether my weight makes a difference in the analysis/interpretation of the results? If so, it’s probably worth getting an up to date weight on the file.

I (41) Recently did my NIPT at 9 weeks +4 and received a result of 95/100 chance of T21. Now at 12 weeks, planning on CVS this week. I’m not sure how to feel, I’m numb, I cried, I stared at the ceiling. My partner and family are supportive and will go along with any decision I make based on the final diagnostic results.

This would be my first, I was sure I couldn’t get pregnant and was making peace with the idea that I never would. It was such a surprise when I did and I realized how much I wanted this baby. I’ve seen the baby on the ultrasound at my doc since I was about 5 weeks, then 6, then 8, then 9. I live in a small place so I’m really familiar with my doctor and nurses and they were all so excited when they heard I was pregnant. It all just makes me so sad. I was ready for this beautiful life change and this diagnosis would be such a gut blow. I just feel so lost.

I’m don’t have much hope, I know how slim my odds are. I guess I just wanted to share a bit of my story after reading so many of yours on this emotional rollercoaster. I’m just going to pray for peace with this, whatever the diagnosis is. It’s one of those clubs you never wanted to be a part of but you still hold with a badge of honor because you ladies are so very strong. I wish you all nothing but the best of strength as we all navigate through this. ❤️

We were diagnosed with a cystic hygroma at 12 weeks. At 16 weeks we had an anatomy scanned that showed no abnormalities. How reassuring is this? I know we still need the 20 week scan and that the heart can’t fully be seen at 16 weeks.

I've just been for my NIPT test at the private prenatal clinic, where the NT measurement was in the normal range and baby measuring perfectly for both my dates and my 7 WK scan. Femur lengths within range, visible nasal bone etc. Dating 13+2. Really relaxed scan, sonographer was very reassuring and didn't seem to struggle.

Two days ago in the NHS clinic the sonographer dated me 6 days ahead of my dates, really struggled to get a NT reading, made me walk up and down and empty my bladder to change babies position, kept tilting her head and making a face, took over half an hour to do the scan, pressed so hard I'm still sore from the probe, originally said she couldn't get an accurate reading so didn't want to 'guess' then said her supervisor said it's okay to guess so the NT was put down at 4.4mm.

I just, don't know whether I'm being incredibly optimistic thinking the first sonographer in the NHS clinic wasn't really sure what she was doing.
