TESTING TIMES????
Hi. just wondered how many of you tested for downs etc.... Did anyone have amnio????
I had nucal at 12 weeks which the sonographer assured me all was fine. I then had the triple blood test which came back 1:1420 so again happy with that.
Still cant help but worry though. i am a worry monster!
Just wandered with our ages etc..who had tested!

I had an amnio in January 2007. The test itself was fine although I lay down for a week afterwards out of fear that I might miscarry. Waiting for the result nearly killed us, it took 5 long weeks .. it was the worst wait of my life. Thankfully it came back as fine and we now have a beautiful, healthy 4 month old girl.
Good luck whatever you decide to do.
Isn't it great we have our own forum at last?
I'm having a really great pregnancy so far; I was well during the first trimester and my 20 week scan showed the baby was a good size and everything was in order. I'm 21 weeks with my first and I will be 35 in a couple of weeks time.

I am 37 and have a 13month old daughter.
I decided not to test for downs, as it had taken so long to have a child, I decided that if she/he was disabled in some way, then I would deal with it regardless (maybe slightly rose tinted glasses?!) anyway, Grace is fine. she was born with hypoglyceamia, as I had a hell of a labour (emergency c section under GA after 20hrs) and Grace was distressed. she was in neo natal for 4 days to get her sugars back up, but is absolutley fine now. We are thinking of trying for another one soon!
older mum 69 the blood test can be inaccurate. Lots of younger mums on march forum got a high risk result but after amnio all was fine with baby. I have always had test done at about 15 weeks and this time came back fine too. I also had the nuchal test done at 12 weeks which was fine. Ask your mw to explain what can be offered.
Mum of grace..she is very cute!!! Good luck with TTC another. Its worth it!
