K,
Congratulations on the birth of a healthy baby girl! I am sure you are very busy meeting her needs but, I thank you for taking time to respond to my post.
I live in a small town where technology lags behind other bigger areas in a somewhat, scary way! The hospital recently added the quad screen and that, for our area is a big deal. The ultrasound equipment has been the same for at least 8 years. (My niece is 8 and the machine is the same!) Therefore, I was not even offered a Level II ultrasound. The practice (doctor) jumps right to the amnio for lack of anything else to offer.
I've been on the computer for hours and hours, reading articles and various posts. When I try to comfort myself... I picture 60 women in a room. One will have a Downs baby. I know 59 will not. But, someone will... what if I am that someone?
Rest when you can with your new baby girl. Thanks for your positive support.
