Abnormal NIPT results

Hi everyone, I came back high risk for trisomy 18 in my NIPT test. I’m absolutely devastated. I was so looking forward to finding out the results so I could find out the gender, now it feels so naive to have been so excited. Did anyone else out there get abnormal results?

Boy or girl? I wasn’t going to do this! 🙈

But this nub theory is really playing on my mind! Our baby at 13 weeks was all curled up, so i can’t tell if the nub is saying boy or whether it’s just where they’re curled up! We aren’t finding out but i’m starting to get hooked that it’s a boy when maybe it’s a girl. Any nub experts please let me know 🤣😉
