Unfavourable result

Having gone through my first pregnancy smoothly, I thought this second one will be just as easy. Well, in a way, it is. At least I do not have bad morning sickness. However, I guess I have to go through some 'hardship' this time round.

I had my usual blood test done two days ago. This morning, I received a call from the hospital informing me that the test result is out and it is an unfavourable one. Blood test has shown that the reading of my Maternal Serum Screening is 1/100 which means a high risk of having a Down's Syndrome baby. My gynae thus recommends that I go for an amniocentesis. Amnio is able to further confirm my risk of having a Down's baby but it also carries a risk of miscarriage. I have to make a decision fast - to do amnio or not. This is the toughest decision I have to make in my entire life.

My mind is very confused. Everything was well when I had Iden, why is this time different? I really do not know what to do now.
