Hi

Had my triple test results yesterday and was shocked they came back as 1 in 290. (I'm 22)

I was upset yesterday but feel better today as I am still low risk and I know the odds are very much in my favour. My Midwife did say though that it is not uncommon for younger people to have a higher risk. Anyone else have this?

I wont be having an Amnio unless any soft markers are found ay my 20 week scan, apparently if your baby has Downs, there is a 50/50 chance it would be detected at this point so the chances of me giving birth without actually know are something like 0.15%. I was mainly just shocked as I was expecting 1 in 1500 with my age.
