I'm three months pregnant and just had my NT and dual marker screening, and the results are showing a high risk for trisomy 21. I'm really worried about what this means and how it might affect my baby. Can you help me understand this better?

A high-risk result for Trisomy 21 (Down syndrome) from your NT and dual marker tests is concerning, but it's essential to understand that it's a screening test, not a diagnostic test; consult your doctor or a genetic counselor to discuss the results, and they may recommend further testing, such as a non-invasive prenatal test (NIPT), chorionic villus sampling (CVS), or amniocentesis, to confirm the diagnosis and determine the best course of action.
