I'm booked in for Nuchal scan next Thur when I will be 12.5 weeks. My GP has put the fear of the proverbial into me though by warning me that at 37 my risk could well be below 1:500 and then I have to make a decision about having an Amnio - which I DO NOT want to do. Apparently there are no other options here although overseas they do a combined scan/blood test with a higher degree of accuracy. Am now wondering if I should proceed with the scan? Having said that given I am going to be a single Mum I'm really not sure I could cope with a Downs child. Is she scaring me un-necessarily? Or am I being overly paranoid about the Amnio?
