Trisomy 18
Hello doctor,
I am in my second pregnancy. 1st one is a normal and active 3 year old through LSCS. And my 12-14 weeks NT scan shows a trisomy 18 final value of 1:384. Will the baby be affected by Edwards syndrome.
My doctor after consulting with the sonologist said it's ok. I am in my 20th week and has been advised for an anomaly scan. I don't have any family history of down syndrome. I am much worried will it be a problem?
