I recently did my routine first trimester antenatal blood tests, and my report shows a high risk result for trisomy 21 (1:7) and trisomy 13/18 (1:11). I am 27 years old. I am very worried after seeing this report. Could you please guide me on what steps I should take next to confirm or reduce this risk?

High risk results require confirmatory tests like NIPT or amniocentesis. Please consult a fetal medicine specialist immediately.

I am 14 weeks pregnant. I had a double marker test at 13 weeks and 3 days. My free beta HCG level is 28.4 ng/ml and PAPP is 12.8 mIU/ml. Are these levels normal? Please tell me.

Hi Doctors, My double marker test report shows Down Syndrome risk as 1 in 352 and Edward Syndrome risk as 1 in 24360. I am 13 weeks and 5 days pregnant. Please suggest if these ranges are fine. Thanks.

Pregnancy 20 weeks complete and ultrasound 3D report shows low amniotic fluid. The triple test report shows NTD positive but in ultrasound everything is normal such as spine and head. At present I am undergoing 5 days drip of amino acid and RL. Kindly let me know if there is any other solution for the same besides drip and tablets with LRzim solution?
