28-4-2008 - Decision

My mood while writing this blog: Ok

---

After much thought and consideration we have decided not to have the amnio done. We believe our little angel is perfect and do not want to do any invasive test that might put her in jeporday. We are going to have a 4D ultrasound tomorrow so we will be able to see our little Gracie's face. I think this will put our minds at some much needed ease. I am very happy about the decision that we have come to and have just decided that this is in God's hands and I have faith in him.

We aren't getting an amnio done either. My gut tells me that my little boy is fine--even though they found the cyst. Even if the amnio could tell me something, it wouldn't change how my husband and I approach this pregnancy. I totally understand how you're feeling right now, and I think faith is really the best help--not more tests. In fact I think so much of the tests and screenings only serve to create more anxiety and rob us of the joy of expecting our first babies. These little guys have lots of angels watching over them--that's better than all the diagnostic tests in the world.

Congratulations. Can I ask you why you have an amnio done anyway? I had one last year and I was so worried that I would put my baby in danger but I rang the hospital and spoke to the midwives and got them to personally recommend someone. the guy I went to was extremely highly recommended so I didnt worry about the miscarriage rate at all. It didnt hurt at all either. I just trusted him and honestly I couldnt even feel it. If those are any of the reasons you dont want to have it done, put them out of your mind and get the test if you want. It's up to you, but at the time, a friend of mine told me her sister had one and it didnt hurt. the test just seems way bigger than it really is. Good luck with your pregnancy.
