Amniocentesis carried a risk of killing the baby (at least at that time). I know of two, perfectly healthy babies that were killed this way because the procedure ruptured the amniotic sac. I think that doctors love to scare patients.
We also said no. We told her that we would take what God gives. Pissed her off. Did not like that we brought God into the situation. More belittling.
BTW, perfectly healthy baby boy was born. Seventeen now. Time flies. Congrats.
Same experience on the belittling front.

Thanks, you too! In 2005 it was a 1/300 chance of miscarriage from the amnio.
