I am 11 weeks pregnant and live abroad. I am looking at flying to London to have an amnio in my 17th week at the Fetal Medicine Centre under Nikolaides.
I am nearly 30 and have one healthy dd already but my Dh and I have agreed to undergo the procedure to make sure the baby is healthy as we would not continue with the pregnancy if that wasn't the case as we have to think of our older child.
What can I expect from the procedure? I know how it works, I understand that some women were traumatised by it? Is it that bad? Do you get results instantly?
We would then rest in London for 2 days before flying out to holiday for 2 weeks where I can recuerate? Is this unwise?
Please let me know your thoughts. TIA!
