Is testing for downs syndrome during pregnancy safe?
In order to test for Downs, you have to do an amniocentesis (sp?). Everywhere I have read, it has the risk of a miscarriage in 1 out of 200 healthy pregnancies…so that chances are lower than they used to be, but it can still be a risk. You do that test somewhere between week 15-20 of pregnancy. If you want a baby, I would try sooner than later!
