OK Karma, there are 1,300 cards laid face down in front of you, identical on the back but with the numbers 1 - 1,300 on the front. You have one go to pick up number 462. How likely do you think that is?

In other words, you don't get better odds.

I have a 2 year old and a 6 year old.
Am 39 and have no intention of having any more though!
Hope your pregnancy goes smoothly.

if you look at what the chance of a child having any of the conditions indicated by a high nuchal chance for your age - your odds are very very good.

I already have a little one with down syndrome and am expecting my third. Pre nuchal test I was 1 in 56 for a child with any of the conditions indicated. I am now 1 in 962 - the same as a 26yo and I am 38.

would not trade dd1 for the world. Down syndrome was not the end of our world ( we knew before she was born) but the opening of a whole other amazing world.
