Personally, I would never get an amnio unless I had reason to believe something was very wrong. You will have another scan between 18-20 weeks which checks the baby's anatomy and screens for the same issues as the NT. I would put off the decision until after that scan and only test if something came up. Even then, I may not even test unless it is conclusive and/or not compatible with life. Try to calm down, as you said, you were given no reason to worry.

I am 35 weeks pregnant with our second child and always refuse any tests that are either invasive or not 100% accurate. Besides, that is your baby and in the long run would it really matter if there was a birth defect or downs syndrome? I am 32, so not much younger than you are and I just don't give it a second thought. Your chances of having a normal healthy baby are much, much greater than that of having a baby with any abnormalities. Enjoy your pregnancy, if anything were horribly wrong it will be picked up on your 20 week ultrasound. Congratulations by the way.

i know this has to be a very hard decision for you. I am 19 weeks pregnant and I didn't get any of that because I had less than a 1% chance of a ds baby... first of all you need to think what you would do if the results came back positive for ds or anything else, and if the answer to that question is nothing then i would recommend NOT doin the amnio... also, you need to think about is your want/need to know more important than your babys well being.. good luck to you and god bless!
