Today I had a nucal translucency screening which is a scan to detect the possibility of any chromosonal disorders. The scan along with particular blood tests help to give you an idea of your risk factor of having a child with downs syndrome as an example.

You are considered to be high risk if you have a less than 1:300 chance. My risk is considered to be extremely low at 1:4019. We were very relieved.

Everything else is normal and the baby is looking very healthy.

All in all, a very positive result.
