Hi ladies,

I need to hear some of your thoughts.

I am at the point in my pg where I have to decide if I am doing the pre-natal testing for Downs and all the other stuff. With Aidan and Nathan I refused any extra testing. I am the type that worries way too much and I feared hearing there was something wrong would really depress me and harm the baby. I would never abort- so I thought not knowing was fine.

Now I am 37 yrs old. The OB said she won't make me do anything. Since I had 2 healthy pregnancies and am not that much over 35 etc. I've been going back and forth and tonight I decided to bypass it all.

Then 10 min later the hospital called to schedule my ultrasound including the testing. They said my OB requested it. I made the appointment they gave me but am now deciding if I should go forward. Ed said if I don't want to then I shouldn't. But I just don't know. I go back and forth. I would do it to hear the baby is fine....not to hear I have a 1 in 15 chance of blah blah blah

Any thoughts? Your experiences?
