And it's my understanding that they're as stressful and perhaps even more uncomfortable.<BR/><BR/>Good luck.

It's supposed to be less invasive than amnio (they go in vaginally). I am 41 and 29 weeks along. When I was around 12 weeks they did the higher resolution ultrasound then did the ultrascreen (quadscreen). They didn't recommend going through with CVS or amino since we weren't planning on evasive action if there was an issue.<BR/><BR/>The best of luck to you!LizPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11642271629027155859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17779098.post-62833081852621131982007-12-17T13:28:00.000-05:002007-12-17T13:28:00.000-05:00You have to do what's right for you.Thinkin' of yo...You have to do what's right for you.<BR/><BR/>Thinkin' of you. :)mamatuliphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02692442843330582571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17779098.post-76260048962918505932007-12-17T11:35:00.000-05:002007-12-17T11:35:00.000-05:00At 35 turning 36 with my second child, I told my d...At 35 turning 36 with my second child, I told my doctor I didn't want to have a "routine" amnio. My family doctor, who specializes in obstetrics, say she prefers not to give an amnio unless the patient is 40 or older and has a "positive" from the triple screen. (This can also be problematic given the number of false positives from this fairly inaccurate test.) <BR/><BR/>In your mid-thirties, your chance of miscarriage from the amnio (1 in 200) is higher than the chance anything is wrong with the fetus.<BR/><BR/>I guess I wouldn't know what to do if the test results came back with a questionable result, probably have the amnio, but I do know that I wouldn't ever have one just as a matter of routine because of my age. <BR/><BR/>Best of luck with your decision. I know it must be a hard one for you.Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14586323120994967027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17779098.post-35182638238735758262007-12-17T11:08:00.000-05:002007-12-17T11:08:00.000-05:00Was 'just regular' at 34 with HRH, then 'advanced'...Was 'just regular' at 34 with HRH, then 'advanced' with RC a mere 21 months later.
