Update on AFP

Well, as I'd mentioned, the OB said that 92% of Downs cases were found using
nuchal fold scan and AFP so I agreed to do the AFP. He called me (yes, you
heard right, he did...not a nurse) yesterday and said that it came back fine
and I shouldn't worry.

Yipee!

Next decision, whether to take the GD test since I barely failed last time
or to avoid it and start pricking my fingers...

Yay! I know that's a big relief.

i undrestand GD gets worse with subsequent pg's all things being equal, so i
vote dont do the test and just start pricking. that is what i am doing.
and at 14 weeks, so far so good, but apparently it doesnt fire up until
about 20.
