Re: Down Syndome testing

I had an amniocentesis 23 years ago, not for Downs but for spina bifida. They have to tell you the risk but they are extremely, extremely small. Mine was "your proteins levels are high.....we should do an amnio..". We nodded as nothing else we could say. So it was lie on the table, a bit a shock to the system to say the least. I just went home and cried and just laid down for 2 days. Plus it wasn't my normal consultant who decided, when I saw my normal one later he said "I wouldn't have given you one as there was no need". Speechless.

Everything was ok which gets rid of the worry. It's peace of mind that the test will give you. The test is extremely quick.
