A member asked:
Wife at 8 weeks had an hcg of over 270,000 at er due to severe morning sickness. does that mean the baby could have downs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
That is higher than usually seen and could certainly relate to the morning sickness, but it is not an increased risk for Down's. It could be normal, it could indicate a twin pregnancy, and there are also more unusual and rare causes. She should get an ultrasound to check how the pregnancy is progressing.
