Have the test Ali. Wouldn't it be better to make a completely informed decision? Yes, there is a risk with the test, but the benefits to peace of mind may be worth it.
Will the test give a complete genetic picture for all chromosomal problems?

Thinking of you both. Have the test as I am sure it will bring you peace of mind to know. If it makes you feel any better, with my last pregnancy, they were doing an internal ultrasound and thought they saw twins! After they got the other tech and they couldn't reproduce it and I had just one(thank goodness). Don't let fear control you.
Big Hugs to you both. love, kat

Hi girls and thanks... I got through the test, it was painful at the time, but they were lovely and very reasuring. It was nice, but hard to see the baby again on screen.. a perfect little foot and 5 toes came into view first :sad:
Sadly Kat, the nuchal measurement was done correctly and was still evident on the scan today, so defo not a mistake (I wish it was!) so now we have to wait for the results.. Moday or Tuesday at the latest they said.

Ali, what a shock for you. I can't even begin to imagine what you are feeling. Keep hold of your strength and wishing you all the very best for tomorrow.
Thanks for all your prayers and good wishes girls! Well.. THE BABY IS FINE!!!
It was horrendous, so stressful and upsetting. Me and H were home all day yesterday, we were awake from 7am and spent all day in our dressing gowns with the curtains shut hugging each other and watching cheesey films.. and then they finally rang us at nearly 4pm !! They said that the baby is all clear for the first 3 syndromes, Downs, Edwards and Patteu. We have to wait 2-3 weeks for the full results, but its unlikely to be anything else as most other chromosome things are incredibly rare.
We then have a detailed fetal heart examination at 20 weeks in January, becauase excess fluid can be a heart defect, but I'm not really worried about that.
Wierdly, there is an eclipse in Gemini (the baby will be a Gemini!) in my 5th house - of children, on 21st December.. around the time we will get the full test results! Should mark an end of this drama and a new beginning. And then another one, again in Gemini, in my 5th house.. June 1st 2011 and at our scan they adjusted the due date to around the 4th June. So looks like baby will be born on or in the shadow of an eclipse in Gemini!!
Seems fitting for our baby to be born on an eclipse.. if anyone remembers my ramblings about astrology, H seems to be a very eclipse led person and so is my life through my R with him.
I have been praying my soul out for you and your little one. I'm so happy to hear that the major chromosomal abnormalities are negative!!! YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!
So wild about the eclipse. You are right, it is totally fitting for you guys.
Hugs! Hugs! Hugs! Hugs!
