CVS
- I am 11 weeks 5 days today and I got told that I'm in a high risk of Down syndrome. I'm really panicking as my last baby had Turners sydnrome. So I'm worried this baby will have a condition different to Downs but I'm so scared I will miscarry by having CVS and wanted to know if other parents had CVS and if they miscarried?

I Had CVS and Will Have it Again
- I had this done in my first pregnancy and will have it again this time around. I was "old" the first time and even older now -- so we want to learn all we can. It was more painful than I thought it would be, but it doesn't last long. And we were thrilled to learn all was OK and that we were having a girl (for sure).
