When you've come to terms with the idea that you're not having children, you've reassessed your life goals, felt relieved that you're comfortable with your selfish lifestyle, sleeping in; life just throws you a curly one.

The numbers

Well, being pregnant at my age (37) puts me at 1/130 for DS. But with the scan and the combined blood test the number is a more reasonable 1/2710. But there is still that one chance, as with friends of ours who had quite a low chance, and their daughter was born with DS.
There are further tests to do obviously to rule it out completely, as in CVS or an amnio. But with the low measurement and the presence of a bone in the nose structure at this early stage has made us quite confident not to go ahead with those tests.
But I guess we'll definitely find out in September!
