Week 18: Got my IPS results today!

Refresher: IPS stands for 'integrated prenatal screening'. It consists of an ultrasound and blood test between 11 weeks and 13 weeks 6 days (I had mine done at 12 weeks 4 days), followed by a second blood test between 15 weeks and 18 weeks (I had mine done at 15 weeks 4 days).

And it's all good news! :D

Screening result: screen negative
Risk of Down's: <1:20000 (apparently the average for my age group, based on age alone, is 1:350, so we're very low risk)
Risk of NTD (neural tube defects): 1:2200

So yay!! Relief.
