Dont do the amnio...there are irreversable side effects....If the baby does or does not have downs,does it matter? No. So why be in such a hurry to see now...Dont worry hun. God will help you...pray about it. Dont do it... ↑ |
I don't think I would be doing the amnio either, unless it was TOTALLY needed. Won't you need to have another scan before bub is born? I am sure that you will love him/her regardless, but it is definitely something that is best to prepare for. A lot of the time, 'normal' people can't tell that a bubby has Down's just by looking at them in the first few months. I am a Special Needs teacher and work with kids with Down's and as with everything else.... there are varying degrees. So to calm your nerves, hopefully a little....... talk to your baby and love them no matter what, but still.... ask your regular doctor for another scan a little further along. Good luck and congratulations on having a healthy baby!!! You are truly blessed.... Down's or not. ↑ |
Hi Robyn, I have just read your post. I got offered an amnio, because of the same reasons, I chose not to have the test, and I have never regretted it. My son was born and he is very healthy, he is 20 months old now, and does have Downs. We found out when he was 4 days old. Bit of a shock, obviously, which only lasted about 20 mins, I only had to look at my gorgeous, healthy, pink, beautiful boy, and I melted..... I wouldn`t change him for the world.
I think your doctor is a, erm, how do I put it without swearing??? He`s an idiot!!
I wish you all the luck there is with your new baby. Keep well, and stop worrying if you can. I know what it`s like with the hormones!!! lol. Take care. XX ↑ |
