Hi Carmen,

I think you have every right to question your ob/gyn. I recently had my 3rd baby at 37 years of age and my doctor just gave me the facts about the CVS and left the decision up to me. She encouraged me to think about what I would do if the result wasn't good, and this in itself convinced me not to have the test given it's risk of miscarriage. I wouldn't terminate the pregnancy if the test results were bad, so why would I want to risk miscarriage? I did have the blood tests though since they were non-invasive and at least gave me an indication on what to expect.

Good luck with your pregnancy!

Cheers Mary
p.s. third baby is now a healthy 18 month old toddler
