Hi again,

I feel great and haven't put on much weight and so far don't have any stretch marks, ( touch wood).
No i didn't have anymore tests, i bascially had the triple screen which came back normal and then an ultrasound which looked for markers. My doctor said that i could have an animo if i wanted but the risks of Down Syndome were the same of miscarrying with the test.
I thought long and hard and decided not to have one, not an easy decision given that i work with special needs teenagers.
My doctor said that really you don't hit 35 and then all hell breaks loose, it is a slow increase from your 20's onwards.
I really wish you luck and keep in contact.

Shavone
