of 23 Rachael, which value were you high/low on your quad
screen? My AFP levels were high, but from everything I've read
it's indicative of a neural tube defect, not Down Syndrome. Good
luck on your ultrasound!!! post #22 of 23 Thread Starter   Had
Level II u/s with the wonderful people of Yale.   Learned that
my mw got it incorrect (lovely).  The lab that did the quad
screening rates ALL WOMEN like me (pg at 41, giving birth close
to 42nd b-day) with a 1 in 58 chance of having a baby with DS.
 And that is what my mw told me my quad screening result was.
 (URGH!!!!)   In reality - after factoring in my bloodwork,
etc....  my chance of THIS BABY having DS WENT DOWN to a 1 in 90
chance.  So that was actually my quad screen result.    Then --
had the sooo great ultrasound on Tuesday -- all was PERFECT!!!
 :)  And that means our chance of this baby having DS went down
again --- to a 1 in 180 cha
