Pregnancy Info HOME

Kelly, boy... do I know exactly what you are going through! My Dr. told me I had less than 1% of downs, 1/119 before the US. Then after the US, with the spot and because of my 'age' 37, I went to 1/80. Still, with no other markers, we opted out of Amnio and would not terminate either way. Your scenario sounds so much like mine! I am now 61/2 mos. I thought I was going to worry the enitire time, but I have not, thanks to God. I just left this in His hands, as there is nothing I can do anyway to change anything. I have been at peace with everything and with the way my stomach is growing, I honestly think our little guy is just fine. I bet your little one is too! So here are some thoughts for you....only get the Amnio if you want to know for sure and if the risks are worth it for you. If not, forgo it, and sit back and let your pregnancy take its course. The farther along you get, the stronger the peace. Especially when the baby starts to twist and turn and kick! Once you get that going, you will start to forget all the worries you had at this time, and will start looking forward to seeing your baby... I hope this helps you!! Gee, gals, I was the one who originally posted this darn topic. Strange huh?? :)
