Baby neck thickness

I had Oscar & NIPT test today, after detailed scanning my gynae told me my baby's neck thickness of 4.1 is above average of 2.5 so she advised me to forgo the NIPT test since it only test for down syndrome and to proceed with amnio test instead. Couldn't stop crying as I'm so worried for my baby and decide to follow gynae's advice. The 5 tubes of blood for NIPT have to be discarded. Anyone have done amnio test before? Can advise how it's like? Will it be painful? And how was your test result? #1stimemom #advicepls

I did NIPT at week 12 and the results came out to be monosomy x with 99% probabability. Continue with amnio at week 16 and waited 3 weeks for the results to be out but thankfully it’s all false alarm. Doc told me of all these positive NIPT and amnio after that, it’s around 50/50 that the result could be negative so don’t give hope! My advice is no matter what the results is, you would want to see how’s the baby condition via ultrasound and make a decision from there. Amnio procedure is bearable, it’s more of pressure of the needle as they need to go quite deep to reach the fluid. Keeping you and baby in prayers!
