Thank you for answering. Yes, next week we will see a specialist and have a conversation to evaluate all the questions we have. The reason why I posted this question was to try to be better prepared, and to ask the right questions. More knowledge always generates more (and hopefully better) questions, right? :-)

We were given a informationbooklet that states that the risk of something going wrong in CVS is 0,5% and with an amnio 0,3%. It's not awfully much, I know. I only hope that there are'nt other statistics that are higher!!(Wouldn't mind them being lower ofcourse!)

Thanks again, Anneminke
