I'm 41 so it was a big thing on my mind. In all honesty, I don't know what I would have done if I were in that terrible position. I began this pregnancy saying I would more than likely terminate for a number of reasons, but by the time I got to 13 weeks I was nowhere near as sure of what I would do. Either way I wanted to know what I was looking at - good news and I'm stress-free (at least for that!) for the next almost 30 weeks. Bad news and I can start preparing.

I'm a bit obsessive-compulsive and need to always be in control and know what's coming, so I would always opt for the informed road. We're all different though, so whatever you feel is right for you and your DH may be different.
