Thanks ladies
really, thank you all for your responses & sharing your experiences. Its definitely been helpful. Well, here's what I've been thinking-- I am not gonna get it done to merely experience the joy of seeing my baby I guess. Firstly b'coz I have seen it & heard the heartbeat already in the sixth week scan ( had to get it done as I was spotting a bit... I am ok now. Phew!)
Also this is my second pregnancy (my first one ended in a miscarriage at 9 weeks), so I am not overly exited .... I think I am a bit more scared this time around & hope everything goes well.
The fear of unknown is more daunting than anything else to me. So I think I might get the DS screening done. I don't know if I would go ahead with amnio or not at this stage in case I am high risk- I guess it depends on how big is the risk if its 1:200 I might not but if its 1:10 I might decide to get amnio. But atleast I will be prepared for the future- mentally & emotionally.
As all of you pointed out, at the end of the day it is a personal decision & one should go with their gut feeling- so true.
Thanks again Ladies- I will keep you posted.
God Bless:-))
