    I don't know the answers to your questions sorry - but wanted to give you hugs

    FWIW I think if you have decided you want this bub anyway & you already love her to bits...it won't matter too much.

    And as for an amnio, your OB can recommend one, but you can't be made to have one. Talk about that more with your DP, let it be your decision.

    goodluck

    i'm wondering whether your risk was the 1:161 or whether that's the general risk for your age? when i got my results they also told me two figures - one was our actual results & the second was what the risk is typically of someone my age. because i'm in my 30's the risk for my age is usually quite high but the risk of this PG was far lower - using the combined blood test & scan results.

    sorry if i've misinterpreted this, but just wondering if maybe that's why you have the two figures?
