hiya love im 16wks on my second pregnancy. when i was pregnant with my son a midwife explained about the tests that can be done i was unsure wether to have them or not.then the midwife gave some really good advise she asked me if finding out something was worng if it would change how much i would love my baby the answer for me was easy no.i understand ur worried but with some tests they only give u a percentage of how likely u are to have a child with any problems if ur result was high it would make u worry more and doesn't mean that ur baby will definatly have any problems.my advise is u need to way up do u really want to know would it change how u feel.all babies are precious they should all be loved. xx
