I got my Ultrascreen results
DH has a nephew with Downs and his son has ADHD with characteristics of Autism; even though Downs isn't considered hereditary and the issues with his son appear to have come from the Mother's side, he has been very stressed about having another child with disabilities - he even said to me once that he thinks the odds are stacked against us 
For some reason I wasn't worried and really felt like everything would just be OK, the thing I worried about most was getting a false positive.
For Downs I was 1:6,381, the risk level for my age alone is normally 1:617 – so that is an AWESOME result!!! For Trisomy 18 and 13 the risk level was 1:greater than 10,000. The doctor told me with the results they consider it that we have no risk for Downs or Trisomy. I was so excited to call DH and ease his mind a bit

Did you get this test between weeks 10-13? I have to get prenatal bloods done early week 13, and I'm not sure what they're testing for. I also have to have that Nuchal Translucency test, and I'm embarassed to admit that I'm not sure what that is for either.
Any ideas?
PS - So glad your testing came out good!
