result is out

I had just received the call from kkh with regards to the down syndrome test that i had done on tues.

baby's down syndrome risk is consider low. the result is 1:13113. i'm actually quite surprise to get this result, didn't know the difference will be so great. on the day of scan itself, doc mention that based on the nuchal translucency (something at the back of baby's neck), the risk factor is 1:632 (which is already low, anyone with 1:300 is consider high). then with the presence of nasal bone, the risk factor becomes 1:2320 and now with the blood test and result become 1:13113.

very pleased to know that baby's had low risk for down syndrome. can have a very happy new year liao.

i had also requested to do a scan on my next visit instead of waiting till march. not sure if doc will let me do it, still waiting for their call with regards to this. don't want to wait till march to see, that's a very long wait.
