NIPT fetal fraction was only 3% at 12 weeks 2 daya and now I’m spiraling. Please help!
My NIPT results just came back low risk and I found out I’m having a girl, which should make me happy and relieved… but instead I’ve completely spiraled after seeing that my fetal fraction was only 3% at 12w2d.
I made the mistake of Googling it and now I’m terrified the results might not even be accurate because the fetal fraction was so low. Everywhere I look people are saying low fetal fraction can be linked to problems, inaccurate results, placental issues, misscarrage etc. and I honestly cannot calm myself down.
What makes me even more anxious is that I’m not overweight, so I don’t understand why it would be that low. I’m 5’2” and around 115 lbs (BMI 20.8), so now my brain keeps telling me something must be wrong.
I’ve honestly been anxious this entire pregnancy and this just pushed me over the edge mentally.
Did anyone else have a fetal fraction this low around 12 weeks and still end up with accurate NIPT results and a healthy baby?
