In about two weeks, I am due for a CVS to test for Down's Syndrome. My Ob suggested me to do the test. THis is my first pregnancy, and I am a newbie to everything... So, when I booked myself the CVS appointment, I also did some research on my own using the internet. I gathered that CVS has a 1% chance of miscarriage. I know that it is not a great value, but I am so scared that I could be included in that 1%.... You really never know, right? The thing is I am 24 years old and do not have any family history of genetic abnormalities... I know that Down's Syndrome is higher for women over 35 years of age and if they have past family history of some genetic abnormalities... So, would it sound arrogant if I tell my Ob I feel "reluctant" in doing the test as it still carries risk of m/c? Am I being unreasonable or too paranoid? Please help!!!

Did anyone refuse having the test done? Please share your experience with me... I'm so unsure!
