My local hospital is now affiliated with kings too. I didn't have the blood test, just the scan. Decided it wouldn't make a difference if I knew or not.

I agree but we said yes as all research that can help I'm up for helping

Wendz I'm so sorry to hear take care xx

Had the blood taken this morning at my local hospital as they are running a pilot with Kings... my scan was very good they told me what they thought the sex was there and then but tbh as long as all ok I really dont mind :-) I was more amazed to see the fingers and toes !

For the result did you get an actual figure or just high risk low risk if that makes sense?

I got a figure on the paperwork, but when I met them they said they would just say high or low risk.

AIUI it's actually pretty much a diagnostic test (although they say it is a screening test), so if they say high risk, then most likely the baby does have a problem. If they say low risk, then it doesn't. The 1:10,000 number they give you just reflects the risk that the test was performed incorrectly or there was a lab error.

Oh Wendz what a terrible shock. Will you be with someone when you go tomorrow? This must be so so hard for all of you in your family. I really don't know what else to say and hope that the miscarriage thread on here can offer you support if you want or need it at any point. I feel like I want to say something that will make it better but that is ridiculous, as it is just a terrible situation. You will all, baby included, be in our thoughts.

It's been a day of 2 halves for us on this thread. monty doggy also wanted to congratualte you on a fab scan (know what you mean mine was asleep at 12 week scan and I was terrified). So glad all is well for you both but sorry to hear about bad scan lady. They are alarmingly common.

Whoever said about movements, yes I do get fluctuations in movement. A good tip is meant to be to eat or drink something cold if you want to feela wiggle as your digestion sytem is behind the uterus and will make them jog hopefully. Mine likes to (or is only noticed!) when I am sitting or lying.

Tinkwings - hope your day improved.

TOFT - glad your test results went well.
