I am feeling really, really torn and lost about this.

I always thought I would definately have a CVS, but now that I am pregnant, and the genetic counsellors keep saying 'one percent chance of miscarriage' I am really scared.

As a carrier of a balanced Robertsonian translocation (13 and 14), there is a risk that our baby could have Trisomy 13. The genetic counsellor said this risk is around 1 - 2 percent. My research suggests 5 - 10 per cent.

I am so scared of risking miscarriage by having a CVS, but I am also not sure if I can cope with the stress of not knowing for the rest of the pregnancy

Any thoughts? Similar situations?
