So we went to the hosp first thing this morn, and we've decided to do CVS. We have discussed long and hard and we think we know what we will do according to whether it's positive or negative. My fear now is not so much that the result will be positive for Down's but that I will miscarry a perfectly healthy baby all because of our selfishness in needing to know. Still, as others have said, the chances of miscarriage are about 1%, so that means I have a 99% chance of not miscarrying. I am waiting to hear back from the hosp this afternoon, but the specialist midwife said that we should expect to have the CVS done one day this week. The consultant tends to do these procedures at 9am, so we will have to be at the hosp at 8.30am. That will be fun, getting me, OH and toddler to an 8.30am appt at a hosp that's 45 mins drive away ;-)
I'm kind of glad but I feel rubbish that it's happened, I'm the kind of person who likes to work through "illness"
so with my son I received all my care here in Germany and gave birth to him here, I will have most of my care till about 20-23 weeks then I will be moving back to America and having rest of care and baby there. So I know normally in America you only get a scan at 12 and 20 weeks unless you are high risk. Here I get a scan every three weeks till about 30 weeks then every two weeks, then from 37 weeks on you go once a week. I will be sad not to get the care I get here anymore
