Talia - In July this year I was given a 1 in 4 chance of having a baby with Trisomy 13. After much questioning we decided that we needed to know the answer outright as we had made a decision that we would not be able to proceed with our pregnancy if this outcome was not favourable. I chose to have the CVS procedure and my doctor was very experienced and also a gentle person who made me feel very relaxed. That was my main concern that the person doing the procedure had lots of experience and it was definately a bonus that he was a nice person too as I was a wreck that day. I think that I would definately have this procedure done again as I feel that in the right hands the risk of miscarriage is lower than the statistics state. However there is still a chance. If you need to know and you will be unsettled and anxious for the rest of your pregnancy without the procedure then I would definately suggest having the CVS. However this is just my opinion and as the others have said only you and your DH can make that decision. Good luck and I hope everything goes well for you.
