hi i had my 20 week scan last week im 22 but got told my daughter has the soft markers on her brain 3 of them and i have being told they will go wen i reach 26 weeks they told me the same one area is the best but like you i am worried sick over it x

Hi, i'm a 39 year old mum and now 22 weeks, at my 20 week scan the sonographer picked up a bright spot on the baby heart, they assured me that this was nothing to worry about as they measured between the babys toes and other measurements didn't indicate downs, it was still too much of a worry with my age so I had the amnio even though the odds of a downs baby were 540/1, uncomfortable but not painful, hospital were brilliant and have now been told everything is ok! It was a huge worry but am pleased I had the test and can enjoy the rest of the pregnancy without the worry. x

im 40 and my downs tests at 23 im sure was higher than yours now,ii think this last lot were 1 in 24 but at 20 weeks she said baby boy was just fine,try no to worry,im 35 weeks now.go with what the scan lady thinks,afterall they have seen thousands of babies in the womb and im pretty sure they know what they are talking baout more than the blood results,you have my very best wishes

hi im 20 weeks pregnant and had an aneo at 15 weeks and it came back that i wasnt
a downs baby as i already have a downs syndrome daughter who is 19 now a soft marker for downs doesnt mean nothing to have a downs baby the baby has to have the extra 21 chromasome i hope thats helped alittle
