Experiences of Amnio - anyone had one?

I'm thinking of having an amnio as my nuchal fold scan/bloods did not show as low a risk of Downs as I would have liked. Also its my 4th baby and one that dh didn't really want to have - I had to really twist his arm. And I'm 38. So all these factors together mean it would be good for dh and me to have a definitive answer as to the state of this babies chromosomes.

However I feel apprehensive about the procedure and wondered if anyone had any experience of it. I'm 13 weeks pregnant so still have a few weeks to make a definate decision about whether to have it or not. Also how long does it take to get the results? Any advice would be gratefully received.

Hi Rosy

I also felt a sense of relief once I'd decided on the amnio. It was, at least, something certain on the horizon.

Let us know how the consultant appt goes.
