[quote=Anonymous]OP just checking in with an update, we decided to go ahead with the amnio. We'll also speak with a genetic counselor before that appointment so that we have a fuller picture of information. I'm feeling slightly less like a basketcase now, possibly because at least we've made a decision, but I'm also grateful to everyone who commented here. I think I was feeling as if it was some sort of personal failing for me not be able to just live with the uncertainty until the baby's born, and it helped a lot to hear from so many who supported the choice to do an amnio or had even made the same choice themselves in their own situations.

The appointment is a few days away, and then after that it'll just be a bit of a wait for more information and a follow-up ultrasound. I'm a bit nervous about the procedure, unsure whether to request anesthetic or not (one nurse said the anesthetic shot might be worse than the amnio itself?!), so welcome any experiences/advice you all can share.
