    I also read that sometimes amnio can give you a false positive?
    As far as I am aware, this is impossible, as they test the amniotic fluid for all chromosonal abnormalities?

    The blood tests (AFP, triple tests etc) and nuchal fold tests are indicative only, and often give "false positives" but an amniocentis and CVS (CHORIONIC VILLOUS SAMPLING) give a definative answer.

    ALR...........good luck. Rest up afterwards as much as you can?
