I had an amnio as I would have terminated had my baby had Downs. Fortunately all was well and the absolute WORST part was not the amnio itself which took approx 30 seconds but waiting for the results as it fell during the Xmas period....I finally got my clearance at 4pm on NY's eve

Four eyes...the 1:200 thing for amnio is the risk of miscarriage from having the test

And I think flissty and T rex said this too.



Hi there, I think I have already said this in another thread. My 8 year old brother has Down syndrome and my mum did the amnio and it told her that my brother 100% did not have Down syndrome. It certainly is not 100% correct

yup SammyA i was corrected by another person - I guess there is that room for error with everything and i should say 99% (gives that one persent for those who it did get it wrong for)

My point was that it is not a risk estimate its somethintg you have to give you a yes or no answer (even if there is that error)
Must of been a great big shock for you mum.
