Just wondering if anybody has experience of pregnancy after a high DS risk with a previous pregnancy?
We were given a 1-50 chance of Lani having DS... we didnt have any further testing as we just couldnt take the small risk of miscarriage - I didnt have a particularly happy pregnancy with the risk hanging over us.... Lani was then born without DS.
I am pregnant again and have just had a bit of a heated conversation with my OH about having the nuchal and bloods this time.... I have always been adamant that I wouldnt do it again.... but obviously my priorities are different this time as I now have a young DD and now I am actually pregnant, I dont know if maybe I do want the test after all.
Im not saying that by the time I have seen this baba on a scan I wont feel exactly the same as I did before and wont care what our risk is ultimately.. but I am now wondering if I would prefer to actually know either way for sure this time. My OH doesnt agree and doesnt want to risk going through the hell we had last time...
I am losing sleep over this... I cant find any information relating to whether I would automatically be high risk again or if having one child without DS decreases my chances... I am 37 so would be fairly high risk anyway...
thanks xx
