I guess everyone quotes statistics cause its factual, it can make you nervous esp when pg ( I know even if im told I have a 1 in 100 chance of something-or-other I start to think im sure ill be that '1'), but id much rather have the facts than be pg even 20, 50, 100 or so yrs ago when info was unknown or even worse, based on old wives tales or superstitions!!

One statistic I don't like is the one about that your more likely to have a baby with down syndrome if your above 30. My brother has down syndrome and my mother helps run the DS association, its proven that it simply isn't true! The fact is your eggs start to break down as you get older, so you do have a higher chance of 'something' being wrong, not just down syndrome!
