If you are worried and confused then you should consult with a Specialist in Foetal Medicine and Genetics. You have to take the final call and I wonder if there are many Doctors on Tele-consultation who can give proper advice on the subject.
The main problem is that YOU have to take the final call.

As it comes under high risk ni pta can't tell the result. For high risk people invasive testing is mandatory to know for sure.
