DH and I are carriers of a genetic disorder. A 1 in 4 chance of a baby being a sufferer, which would require some treatment at birth. GP, CMW & Hosp will not refer to a Hosp with experience in the condition, unless they have some form of 'evidence'. Long story we couldn't do CVS (issues with location).
We are considering amnio. It has the obvious pro of hopefully telling us conclusively if there is an issue, but the con of the risks.
If we don't go for amnio, AFAIK they wouldn't offer any extra scans or anything else as there wouldn't be 'evidence' of an issue.
I am nearly 15 wks. Not seen anyone at PND/consultant yet. My handheld notes refer to us being carriers, but do not mention the accurate COD previously for our son - genetics agree this is important (seemingly no-else involved in my 'care' does).
