Triple Test
Hi everyone
I was due to have the triple test yesterday but when I went for my antenatal appointment I changed my mind after talking it through with my midwife. As I wouldn't have an amnio or terminate if it turned out I was high risk for Down's then there was little point in having the test done. Even if the result came back low i.e. 1:10,000 I could still be that 1 person who has a baby with Down's so I'm going with the flow and what will be will be. Anyone else decided not to have the triple test?

Like you we wouldn't have had the amnio so our midwife advised us not to have the tests.
It does cross my mind occasionally the 'what if' and 'would it have been better to be prepared' but
I don't regret it for a second, I will love our little man regardless!
