Please tell me it's going to be okay...

I'm scared... a genetics councilor for my doctor just called to tell me that my chances of Downs Syndrome are 1:110, which is considered a high risk. I know it still means there is less than 1% chance of something being wrong, and I wouldn't consider terminating if the baby does have DS (unless there were other, life-threatening medical problems, etc.), but I'm scared. I have an ultrasound tomorrow morning, and we will discuss whether we will do an amnio or Harmony/MaterntiT21 after it.
Please tell me it's going to be okay....

Aaaaand, tears. This is beautiful.
I've gotten that phone call (not DS, but a fatal disorder), so I feel you. I'm so sorry and I understand your fear. But know, you have a 1:110 chance of Downs, which means you have a 109:110 chance of everything being completely normal. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
If you have questions about the amnio, let me know. I had one. I promise, it was WAY less of a big deal than I thought.

Thinking of you. Everything will be fine, no matter what!
Waiting and worrying during pg is the worst. I will be thinking of you.
Try to distract yourself and stay calm - that's what helped me.

I've also had an amnio. It was not what I expected, but it wasn't horrible. It was more the situation we were in (just finding out about the heart defect an hour before) and it was very emotional.
I would opt for the amnio vs the other tests. That is the only way to 100% know if he or she has Down's. Good luck, I will be thinking of you.

Congrats to both my TTC buddies, Amberley18 and sb2006 on their beautiful babies!
Beautiful.
I'll be thinking of you, skreedrake.
Thanks, ladies. I do appreciate it.
We will probably be going with the amnio. Those of you who've done it, what can I expect?

Mine happened so fast. I got the call from the genetic counselor, went in 2 hrs later, and had an ultrasound. Baby was measuring way behind, so we did the amnio immediately. They stick a needle in your stomach, into the uterus, and draw out amniotic fluid. There are skin cells in the fluid and they can do a DNA test with it. I think it just took a few minutes. I mean, it wasn't fun, but it really didn't hurt. We paid for rushed results and had them 48 hrs later.
I also had a Rhogam shot that day because I am O-. That wasn't bad either.
My amnio came back normal, even though I had 1:5 odds of Trisomy 18. It turned out that I had a crappy placenta.
Good luck to you. I will be thinking of you.
