We were lucky because we had so many people around us who had their DS's done, they gave us lots of advice on where to get our referral and how soon we needed to get it. It was good getting it from the ped at the hospital too because it was just a piece of paper, I had to ring and book the appointment seperately so I didn't have to decide that I wanted it done a day or two after the birth. I got the form JIC but knew I didn't have to go through with it if I didn't want to. We talked about it for a week after I got the referral before I booked the appointment.
