so amnio is a different type of scan?? sorry i havent heard of that term before thats all!

i am turning 28 next week, so i dont know if i am still in that "risk age" but is it not a general rule that they test for down syndrome in any case? or do you ask for that as well, i know it was recommended by the hospital but my gp doesnt think it is necessary.

sorry i am so new to this...too many questions.
