Hi. I've been reading these posts for quite a while but never responded. I am 38 years old and almost 32 weeks along in my pregnancy. I've known for about 3 months about the spot and was quite concerned at first but have gotten less distracted by it as time has passed. That's not to say I don't worry but it isn't quite as constant. I did not have the amnio done so I am just waiting to see what happens. I did have bloodwork, however, and it came back at 1/160 which was adjusted to 1/80 once the spot was found. I worried so much at first because the number was really risky, espcially compared to the many of you who are in the thousands. However, I still have almost a 99% chance of having a healthy baby. I really try to look at it this way. I fell lucky to be having my baby girl either way but I do hope she can have every opportunity life has to offer so I hope for her to be 100% healthy.
I wanted to post a comment to Boothy to say I would appreciate you posting your story either way. I absolutely believe it will be a success story with all your prayers answered but I think it is important for everyones story to be told. I have often wondered if people are only posting the good outcomes. I wish the best for all of us moms and I thank you all for the posts which are a great help.
