Congrats on such great news! I'm sure you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the rest of your pregnancy now. Although only a screening, the odds are SOOOOOOOOO in favor of a healthy baby. It's hard to not be ecstatic about it, for sure. Thanks so much for sharing your news with us. I hope you're feeling well.
Those numbers are great. Mine also came back much better than my age alone would indicate, though not quite as low as your risk. But I had already decided not to do amnio even if the risk had come back high. I have met some very lovely children with Down Syndrome. It is just a question of how important it is to each of us to know for sure what to expect, but with no other signs of DS, I felt comfortable taking a 1 in 447 chance.
Congratulations. Hope the rest of the pregnancy goes as easily for you.
Great news! I'm sure this is such a huge relief! I know, I've walked in your shoes!
Best wishes,
Valerie

I was really struggling with what we would do if the numbers came back bad.
