Back at Frimley park for another try at getting the nuchal translucency.
This time we were successful but it wasn't good news.
It measurerd 4.7mm. This give the baby a 1 in 3 chance of being downs.
We have had the blood test done too for the combined screening, which gives a more accurate ratio.
It was decided though, that because it was very low the blood test wouldn't make a significant difference and so we went ahead and had a CVS ( chorion-villus sampling) done. A needle is put into the uterus and some of the placenta is removed to rest the chromosomes.
A local anaesthetic is given and so it is pretty much pain free but an incredibly horrible procedure.
Now we need to wait 10 days for the results.
