I have a friend who is about 4 months pregnant - due in about June I
think. She was telling me today that they want her to have an
amniosentisis to check for Downs syndrome etc... She is 27 yrs
old and this is her first shild with no history in the family of
disability.
Why would they want her to have a test like that done? She is
not high risk as far as i can tell. the only other factor which I
can think of and can not believe is that she is very dark skinned African
and her husband a white Australian.
Anyone got any idea why the hospital would request she do this?
I told her of the risks that they had not mentioned.
Rhonda.

Duck Aviva!!
A pinards is the 'ear trumpet' that was used
to listen to the baby's heart beat before the invention of sonicaids and
monitors. I have a beautiful hand turned pinards made from ash. Sadly many
'modern' midwives don't have the comfidence to use one.

That is fantastic!
I use my pinards for all my antenatal
visits too, as I don't like to put
electronic gadgets near a
developing and sensitive baby
