Downs Syndrome and Spina Bifida

Today, I received a letter from the NHS about my blood test results for Downs Syndrome and Spina Bifida.

The letter states:
" The result based on this screening test suggests the chance of Down Syndrome is 1:3100 in this pregnancy.

The result for Spina Bifida and related conditions were reported to be of low risk."

I am very pleased with the result. Nevertheless, there is a line that reads : Please note that screening tests only predict 'low' or 'increased' chance of Spina Bifida so therefore cannot detect every pregnancy affected by these conditions.....hmmph..
