The Pros:

1. Can find out the babe’s gender.
2. Can say I did it and satisfy my OB.
3. Husband will take the day off.
4. I can relax the remainder of the day since ‘I’m told I should’.
5. I can have a glass of wine afterward since ‘My OB said I should’. O.k., she said I ‘could’ but ‘should’ / ‘could’ whatever. They’re pretty much the same.
6. Oh yeah, and that genetic abnormality detection thingy. Yeah, I’ll find that stuff out too.

The Cons:

1. It’s not very fun. I’ve had one.
2. There’s the risk of miscarriage involved though admittedly (or is it maybe more allegedly) small.

My current OB: “Oh, the risk is soooo small. In fact, I’ve only known one person in 17 years who’s lost the baby due to the procedure."

Last OB: “I’ve never known anyone during my entire time practicing that lost a baby”.

Um…o.k. so where do the 1/200 to 1/400 stats come into play may I ask?????

Anyway, I’m still debating in my head like a ping-pong game though I don’t know what side of my brain is pro and which is con.

I guess I’ll find out tomorrow what my decision is.
