Congratulations Lucy

1. On having a BOY!

2. On being brave enough to have the amnio done in the first place.

I have to admit that I was a total wimp and refused the amnio, although my u/s guy and my OB told me it was totally MY choice, which was really nice.

We had pretty crappy results from the Triple test, I have a 1 in 79 chance of this baby having downs, but after having 4 m/c's and trying for so long to get this baby, there was no way that I would be risking another m/c for anything. I spoke at length with my OB and the u/s guy who both considered my past history and said that the risk of m/c would be a lot higher for me, so that is why I didnt have it done.

Of course, now I am just praying that everything will be fine with this baby, guess I will now in under 6w, but should anything be wrong, she is still mine and I will deal with it, not sure how the IL would react, but we have already decided that if there is anything wrong then we will just turn into hermits for a while and not allow them to know anything.

I know that I am totally naive, and probably should have had the tests done. But from all my u/s the baby looks fine. The NT measurement was well within the range, it was just the age factor that was the problem, so I am not sure how this is worked out, but I am taking my chances.

Fingers crossed!
