Down syndrome screening test
I recently had dual marker test. Following is the result: maternal age-28, EDD-28/10/23, CRL-59.5mm, NB-2.0mm, vit d(127Free Bhcg-2.32MoM, PAPP-A-0.34MoM, level of NT 0.7mm: 0.45MoM, down syndrome risk- 1:325(low risk), maternal age for down's syndrome-1:1084, Edward's and patau's syndrome risk, less than 1:100000(low risk). My gynae said that the risk for down's syndrome is intermediary and if me and my husband is okay we should go for NIPT test to know further. I'm a little worried. Does 1:325 is something I should be worry about for down's syndrome? I have a 3.5 Yr old Daughter who was born via emergency C-sec and she's is healthy. Neither mine nor my husband's family had any history of a child being born with down's syndrome. Should I go for NIPT test?

Doing NIPT will give a little better idea about the risk of down syndrome in your baby.
As of now , it's intermediate risk, that is a grey zone.
Good thing for u are age is less, first baby is healthy, and no family members with down syndrome.
Next Steps
go ahead with NIPT.

Yes you should take the test as the risk is intermediate. It doesn't depend on family history. It's the maternal age that is more important.
