Thank you!
In the second trimester AFP and uE3 levels are, on average, low (about three-quarters that of unaffected pregnancies) and inhibin and hCG levels are, on average, high (about double that of unaffected pregnancies).
The concentrations of the markers vary with gestational age. In the first trimester PAPP-A and NT increase, while free ß-hCG decreases. In the second trimester AFP and uE3 increase, hCG decreases, and inhibin decreases before 17 weeks and increases after 17 weeks. Also, the measurement of serum markers may vary between laboratories. In order to take account of this variation, the concentration of each marker is expressed as a multiple of the median for unaffected pregnancies of the same gestational age (MoM).
Blood to be examined for AFP level. Inhibin.and uE3. USG for Nuchal Translucenty should be done.
Considering your age I would advice you to follow the advice of your Obstetrician and get the investigations and get screening done from time to time.
Don't get unnecessarily tensed.
Happy pregnancy.
