Increased Risk of Down Syndrome after Bun test

Hi,ladies.
I had my in test done a couple weeks ago.
And today received a call from the clinicsaying I need to come in next week for results. Obviously that wasn't good news.
So I went on my health net work account to view the results and it says I have my baby has an Increased risk of Down Syndrome 1 of 49.
So naturally I'm panicking and can't stop crying. All I wanted was to have a healthy baby, regardless of whether it was boy or girl. My 1st pregnancy my son was healthy. Now idk what to do.
I'm hoping everything is ok and maybe further testing will show everything is ok.
But have any of you gotten this test and got results with and increased Risk and everything turn out fine???
I just wanna hear that everything will be ok.

Yes, I also went through this. This is my second pregnancy,and when I went to my first ultrasound about 11 weeks 5 days doc told me they had found NT(nuchal fold) of 3MM. And that can lead baby to have Down syndrome, since doc recommend NT to be under 3MM to have a normal baby. Anyways, long story short, I did the harmony test and ultrasound. Everything came back negative, thank god. BTW my  first baby is healthy and active. I hope everything goes well for you. And keep praying to god. Good luck!!

Yes at 20 weeks, my son was said to have a possibility of down syndrome..was scared just like you but I prayed to God and everything turned out fine. Repeated the test, the time it us a T21 test, and my baby was saud to be negative for down syndrome. He will be 2 yrs in August and is healthy. Actually he makes clear sentences for his age.  Just pray and trust/ believe God. He will do it for u.

After my 12 week scan and bloods with my Son,I was given a 1 in 21 chance of down syndrome. We did the Harmony blood test and that came back all low risk. My son is now 2 years old and perfect.
