Dianne, thank you so much for sharing that. I am sorry for what you went through.

Holly re. the 14 weeks - it's not a clear cutoff for me, but rather that the choice (cvs results vs amnio) means 12 - 14 weeks termination, versus 18 - 20 weeks termination, with nothing in between. For me, 18 - 20 weeks is just getting a bit late for me personally to feel is the right choice for me. Only because, I feel that if a baby can survive even for a little while after being born at 20 weeks, I would rather / may as well carry to term, and have the baby put on support and pain killers and get to spend some time with my baby, rather than delivering and the baby dying straight away.

Sorry I don't even know if that makes sense. And maybe it's a selfish or naive decision. But hey, when you're pregnant or a mother, you really just need to go on your own instincts to some degree, right?

I went to my GP last night, he is pretty anti getting the CVS. He thinks all this modern testing causes more worry than it's worth lol! He also said, "how would you feel if the CVS caused a miscarriage and the baby was perfectly fine?"

But I just keep coming back to the fact that, if I do NOT have the testing, I know I will be obsessively worrying for the next 6 months. I want to be able to enjoy my pregnancy...
