Pregnancy Info HOME

Hi Everyone, I am 17 weeks pregnant and 39 yo. I was diagnosed last week with a marginal placenta previa. Now today my Ob office calls me and says I have an elevated risk for Downs (1 in 120). I was going to get an amnio tomorrow and have heard that it can agitate a placenta previa. I am also getting a level II ultrasound. I am hoping the ultrasound will decrease the risk of DS. If not I may have to get the amnio. Has anyone every had an amnio who has Placenta Previa? Do you know anything about if it is contraindicated? Any info would be much appreciated. Trying to not get too nervous but it is difficult. Thanks, Kerry
