0.21 but I don't really know what it means apart from they're worried! Apparently they like it closer to 1.0, and get worried when its less than 0.3.

Scan is on Thursday, so I'm going to be asking for them to pay particular attention to the placenta.

The midwife called back and said that as my NT scan was perfect and the DS risk was 1:70,000 they wouldn't want me to have a CVS or amino as they think the risk of a genetic problem is so low and lower than the risk of miscarriage from a CVS.

What about the materni blood test? I see babies with very low Papp come perfectly normal... I think this test does get a lot of false positives... Non the less I would be freaking out! That's so scary sorry this is happening ...

They don't do the Materni21 test here and costs an awful lot, and as the risk of genetic problems is low itd be silly to do it. I'm going to ask the midwife if its possible to retest when I see her next week.

I'm hoping its all ok and works out ok, but the fear of stillbirth is going to terrify me from the last scan at 32 weeks up until the birth!
