Hi I'm 31 weeks pregnant with my first child and I decided not to have the AFP blood test done at 16 weeks. My reasons for this were that if it had come back as a high risk of Downs Syndrome i wouldn't have opted for an amniocentesis because of the risk of miscarriage. I also felt that at this stage in pregnancy I wouldnt have been able to have an abortion. Now I'm scared that I may have made the wrong decision - I think the current Eastenders story is making me worry constantly, that may sound very stupid! Any advice? xx
