Q. Hi, I'm 35 years old and 14 weeks pregnant. I had gone for a NT scan and double marker test. Nt scan is normal and the combined report of scan with double marker is absolutely normal. However,the individual blood test reports shows Edward syndrome positive at a risk ratio of 1.63. My doctor suggested for a repeat double marker test with some different lab,I got the same done and the reports are normal. Should I be relaxed now or could there be anything to worry about.
