Since I'm "Advanced Maternal Age" (age 39) I (we) was (were) referred to a genetics counselor. Her office recommends this office to all her patients. I only have had a real concern for Down Syndrome. If my baby had it, I would not abort - I am against that - but I would be armed w/ the knowledge and start to get educated about what raising a Down baby might entail. Other chromosomal abnormalities apparently are life threatening and likely will not live. So the book tells me. Amnio scares me and so does CVS. Apparently Paul and I are leaning towards the 'early screening ultrasound and blood test'. That's next.
