jgwee,
i m 79 yr one... =P
janice,
there's no 100% accurqate for oscar scan...but the most accurate scan will be between 11 - 14wks lol...my gynae did explain to me that, oscar scan oso depend on age, if u r 35yr old n above...the result of getting DS is like 1:50, if mummy r below 35 n above 30, the ratio is like 1:500...but all these figure is not to scare u la...is just how the doc derived with such a ratio to explain to mummy for easy understanding....
if u n DH decided to keep ur beanie no matter what, u can be like mdmkhoo, no need go for oscar scan....dun giv urself too much stress...
my gynae put it in this way that some of the young parents might not hv the time or $$$ to take care of kids with DS, so with the scan, if realli proven got DS, they can decide not to keep, of cos, all these decision is very individual...becos takeing care of kid with DS is not easy...we know beanie is God gifted but as Audrey mentioned before, they r born to be tortured with such illness...they oso suffering...not sure u get what i meant but again, did ppl, diff point of view!!!
