    You poor thing. You have a lot to deal with all at once. I am so sorry about your Mum.

    My only suggestion would be to ask as many questions as you can (ask your Dr/midwife, here on BB etc). Also, read up as much as you can. I am a stong believer that the more knowledge you have regarding things, the more confidence you can summon together.

    If you have already made the decision to have the amnio, then that at least is one decision off your plate? Now, sadly, you just have to play the waiting game to have the test done.

    If you can, try to take some time over the next few days just to be, just to contemplate and to calm some of those thoughts? I know that most likely sounds impossible, but try....it sounds corny, I know, but a hot bath and some peace just to let your thoughts and emotions settle will maybe make you feel a little more able to cope?

    Best of luck either way.....
