Oh buggery hell!
I always think I have finally decided and then....ooops, change my mind again. Now it's come to the day before I go back to see the midwife and I am NOW panicking about what she's going to do. I've got an appointment with her at the local GP's surgery, not the hospital, so assuming it won't be an amniocentesis needle poking full on test, but what will happen? Is it a blood test to check the risk, followed by an amnio if you want it? Or does the 20 week scan show up risk factors? My cousin has Down's so I'd like to be prepared in advance if my baby has too.
My appointment's in the morning and I have a nasty feeling that I'm going to get there and I'll be wasting her time as she can't do anything there. I'm 19 + 4 so from what I've read it's the last chance to do anything this week. I'M SOOOOO CONFUSED!!!!
Can anyone help me with the order of things?
Off to cry a bit.
Thanks
