Hi I had a amnio done through Monash Clayton (public, the wait was a bit shorter, they offered counselling, and if follow up was needed/or problems after the procedure I thought through the hospital would be better), I can't imagine why they would'nt do a CVS also.
The genetic counsellor told me who woul ddo it beforehand, I did'nt know her (Andrea, sorry have no idea of last name Asian doc ) but was told she was very experienced and her risk ratio was much better than the quoted figures. We were borderline CVS or amnio, I choose to wait and take less risk with amnio...I had already decided if there was something wrong that I was going to birth my baby and I was planning on waiting until her birth could be registered.. I wanted her to be reconized as part of our family and not hidden away and naming her, having a birth certificate etc was extremly important to me.
I hope everything falls into place for you, these are hard decisions and hopefully you won't have to make the hardest ones of all, GOODLUCK!!!!
