Pregnancy Info HOME

Hi everyone. New to this forum, though I've been reading it constantly for the past few days. I'm 36 and about 20 weeks preg. with baby #3. Nuchal test, quad screen, and penta screen all came back negative and I thought I was in the clear as far as having a healthy baby. At my 20 week u/s yesterday the tech found an EIF and didn't explain much about it. I'm both a fact person and have a hx of anxiety disorders and I've had the most terrible two days. I called my OB when I got home from the u/s and he didn't call for two days. I've been in agony trying to figure out what this might mean without an MD's interpretation. My quad screen said that my chances of ds were 1 in 254,000, the u/s tech said to divide that by two (1 in 75K?) but MD just said my chance would be 1 in 300. They can't squeeze me in for an amnio for another week, and with my almost constant panic I don't know how I'm going to make it through another week. Does anyone know if it's even possible to have very negative bloodworks, nuchal tests, quad screen, etc. that would miss ds? I'm not coping very well and am feeling like a terrible wife/mother to my family because I'm overcome with anxiety. Help!
