Hi Pregy E,

I was given a 1/227 of DS and went on to have an amnio. It was a huge decision to make, I think making the decision was the worst part of it and once I had decided to go ahead with it, I didn't think about it again until the actual day. I went to a clinic recommended to me by my GP and the Dr who did the amnio was lovely, we went with getting the main results within the 24 hour period - think we had to pay $200 extra. It came back all clear. There were no markers on the ultrasound so it was also to do with my bloods. There are lots of different variables as to the actual risk of the amnio - how the baby is positioned, where the placenta is positioned, etc, the specialist who is doing it, so it is not just a straight 1/200 chance of mc it actually depends on a number of things that would increase the chance. However, you will have another ultrasound before the actual amnio is done and the Dr will be able to see how straightforward your individual case is.
Lots of hugs to you. x
