Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
The DS stands for Downs syndrome and CF is Cystic fibrosis. These are congenital conditions which might be suspected in the baby. Further blood tests will eliminate these possibilities. It is important to match the results of blood tests and get regular follow up ultrasound scans done as required.
