Did any of you have soft markers throughout your u/s? Did the bloodwork tip you off to your diagnosis? Or was anyone completely surprised at birth?
My levels are twice what they should be for someone my age and without any soft markers, I'm trying to stay positive. I have had an eery feeling all along that something would be different about my child, so I guess that's the reason for my post.
TIA.
Re: ? for Ds parents
I basically had the same situation as you. The numbers for DS from my NT scan were twice as high as what they should be at my age. We did not have any markers in any u/s and I decided not to any futher testing as we would not change the outcome of the pregnancy if he did have DS. I had my baby 7 weeks ago and he does not have DS.

...technically i'm still in the normal range, and they gave me a negative scan, just still scary to hear that i was higher than expected.
