Thankyou for sharing Ocean Princess - I know your time was difficult...

I just want to reiterate. You are consumers of the health care industry - choosing a practitioner you are hiring their expertise. It is imperative that you ask for stats when you are faced with invasive testing. Get ther very best you can - ask for opinions. I have had two amnios with "the best" and even though I knew there was a risk as there is for all invasive testing - I was comforted by his stats - and his reputation.

The same goes for having NT screening. I advise strongly that this is done in a fetal medicine unit. A sonographer will do the initial screen and the obs will come on board and recheck. You will get your results the same day.
