thanks rose,
not worried about the kidney really, in fact when they told me I was like, "you only need one kidney anyway" so no big deal... but then they pulled me into a room and told me it was a sign that my girl has Downs, and that is what worries me... a bad kidney is nothing compaired to the long list of health problems she will face if she has Downs.. I am pinning my hopes that the kidney is fixed as it means she may be normal (the doctors dissagree, they think one a 'sign' always a 'sign', whether fixed or not), but I know that if the kidney is OK at the 28 week scan, then I will not have to worry about Downs, that she will be fine...my age puts my little girl at risk as well, they said if they found this problem in a 19 year old mother they would not be worried about Downs. I'm trying not to think about it, trying to be healthy and happy, but I would be lying if I did not say a pray every night before I sleep.

Of course I will keep you updated, good luck with the rest of your journey.
