Hello Hex,

My DH and I had already decided that we would go ahead with an amnio regardless of the NT score (which was 1 in 1240 ). I am 40 years old. I had the amnio almost 2 weeks ago, i live in Perth, and it wasn't painful. It was a little scary however. Hardest part is having to lay still for about 2 minutes while they draw the fluid. Then good thing is you get to see baby on ultrasound again. I only had mild cramping afterwards which was gone by the morning. no other side affects. we get the results in 2 days. For our peace of mind, we are glad we went ahead. keeping our fingers crossed for a good outcome.
