Please can someone change my April 10th baby to April 12th, had my first midwife appointment today and she has changed my dates. Everything is starting to feel a bit more real now, can't wait for my 12 week scan. How does everyone feel about the downs syndrome screening? I was offered it today and decided to turn it down for a number of reasons. As I'm 20, I only have a 1/15000 chance of having a baby with downs syndrome; the second screening test causes miscarriage in 1/100 cases; and also I wouldn't ever terminate a pregnancy even if my baby did have downs syndrome. I was just wondering what everyone elses thoughts are on this...

Currently Feeling: | I don't think I'm going to screen for down syndrome/amneo either pretty much for the same reasons you gave. I'm 28 so chances are still low and although it would be difficult to raise a child with special needs, its not impossible  |

| I did think that if I knew I was having a child with downs syndrome, then I would be able to prepare myself, but just decided that for me the cons of having it done outweighed the pros. It's very much personal choice though  My sickness has come back, I thought I'd seen the last of it! Can't believe I'm having my 12 week scan and moving house in 3 weeks time, so excited! does anyone have the date for their scan yet? |

Currently Feeling: | I'm opting not to have downs screening either for much the same reasons as KittieB. Having lost a pregnancy before I won't take any chances with this little monkey! Don't have a scan date yet just a 10 week appointment. |
