When pregnant with our first child my husband and I declined all of the tests that we were offered but now we have to take DS1 into consideration and we are thinking about having some tests with this pregnancy.
I have my first midwife appointment on friday but i'd really like to find out from you guys what the choices are as from my first telephone conversation with the midwife, I dont think that she and I are going to get along. (I could be, and indeed hope that I am wrong about that).
We thought we'd decided on the nuchal fold follwed by CVS if necessary but I hear today from a friend who works in the medical profession along with her husband, that the amnio is better that the CVS and indeed her consultant who she highly respects would not do CVS.
Then I read in a girly magazine this afternoon really positive things about downs children and i think that i dont want to have any tests anyway. But is that fair on DS1?
I cant be the first person to be getting so confused about all this can I? Can someone offer any advice to help me get my head around this please?
