Hi Cee Cee,

Yes.. if you look at your hand you have 2 lines that kinda run parallel but dont intersect (i think theyre the heart and the head line?).. as ive heard with a down syndrome baby the line goes straight across on the palm of the hand. Ill be checking myself when my baby's born as im not testing for down syndrom.

Ive been reading your posts and i think when they tell you 1 in 200 chance you think oh my gosh thats so low... but think of it the other way around you have a 199 in 200 chance that your baby will be fine.

My brother in law's sister has 4 children. They tested with all 4 and were told that 2 of them were very high risk, im not sure of the percentages but perhaps even higher than yours. They worried throughout the remainder of the pregnancy and both babies were perfectly healthy and without down syndrome. I guess this is a reason why im not testing as i dont want to perhaps worry over something i have no control of and that isnt definate. But with that, try and remain strong and positive if you can, and just think, 199 in 200 is a bigger difference than 1 in 200
