Hi Pauline
Thanks so much for your reply. I have had numeous blood tests earlier on in the pregnancy, and my risk for the Trisomy abnomalities were very very low, so it is unlikely to be any of those..there are however about 500 other chromosomal abnormalities that can be tested for via amniocentesis.
I had the glucose tolerance test on sat, and in a way I am hoping it comes back positive because gestational diabetes is something I can manage a deal with and that will mean there is no need for the amnio.

I just don't know if I could take the risk of goig into prem labour, when this baby is truly precious. They tell me the risk of prem labour is about 1 in 200. Knowing my luck though, I would be that unlucky one
Thanks for your advice
Hayley
