[quote=Anonymous]those screening tests do lead one down a slippery slope. i had the first trimester screen done. really didn't think much about it. figured got to see pictures of the little one. well, we tested greater than 1 in 4 for downs. did the cvs. negative for downs, but showed a different genetic anomaly, one which was not definitive. had many many more tests done that were non-invasive. none showed anything wrong anatomically with the little one so no definitive reason to terminate, but there was always the possibility looming over us of mental retardation and developmental delays that don't show up on prenatal tests. little one is now 2 mos old, perfect as can be. there is still the possibility of delays, and that will always be in the back of my mind for the next few years. and the pregnancy was very stressful, and it all started with an innocent-seeming scan.[/quote]
