The results are in...

I got my NT scan results back this week and things are looking very good! So you have your base chances by age and those can go up or down based on the results of your tests. Both Scooter's chance for Downs, as well as Trisomy 18 & 13 went down! Chance of Downs is 1 in 10,000, the lowest that test goes, and chance of the trisomies was 1 in 6800. Reassuring news most definitely :) Also, apparently the blood test can sometimes indicate problems later in pregnancy  (I'm guessing the alpha fetal proteins? Not sure and the genetic counselor didn't seem to understand the question) like preterm labor and preeclampsia  and those came back fine also. Good news all around!
