I am 23 weeks pregnant. I was told in my scan that my baby has septal atrium defect and we got this confirmed by a cardiologist. I am just a bit worried taht this may increase my risk of carrying a Down child. I have read and was told by the OBGYN present that heart defects increase the risk of down synd. My blood test and ultrasound results from the 12 week scan claims that i have a 1 in 12000 chance but with this discovery it increases my risk. I dont know waht to do. I am contemplating if i should go for the amniocentistis but am afraid of miscarriage . and even if i found out it was a down child ... i dont know what i should do. can anyone provide me with some information. I am at the worst point of my life
