    Wow. That was weird how many posts showed up.

    I'm 37 and opted out of the amnio and others. The risk to the baby didn't seem worth it to me. Plus, it would have made no difference on whether we kept him or not. I also did not want to be worried the whole time about a false positive. There are enough worries as a first-time mom.

    False positives don't scare me half as much as the amnio's miscarriage risk.

    We're still deciding.

    I'm 42 and also refused all invasive testing.  So far, no red flags on U/S, passed the 1 hr. GTT.  Everything is going great. For me, there was no point in the testing.  I didn't want to worry about results throughout my pregnancy and I was going to keep my baby regardless of the results.

    Hi. I was 36 when I had the testing. I had the ultrasound and genteic counseling. I didnt need to go further.  I would of took what ever GOD gave us.
