First trimester test and preeclampsia

Hi everyone, im 24 this year and im currently almost 14weeks pregnant. I went to KKH to get my first trimester screening and preeclampsia tested. I got a intermediate risk of down syndrome and high risk for preeclampsia. I am so worried for my baby especially for the down syndrome. I already went for the NIPT test and I hope to have good news. Does anyone faced the same issues as me before? Hope to hear good news from you guys😭😭

I'm in week 16 now and I also receive result of my baby at high risk of down syndrome and I'm at high risk of pre-eclampsia. Did NIPT test ( I chose Harmony as higher accuracy) and result came back low risk for down syndrome. As for pre-eclampsia, my doc started me with low dose of aspirin to reduce the risk. my doc advise that 1st trimester scan may not be accurate so don't be too worried abt it :).. I tell myself as long as baby is low risk of down syndrome and my pre-eclampsia risk is controlled with medication coupled with watching my own diet, its not end of the world. All the best on your NIPT result!
