Thanks Brenda - subsequent pregnancies will come later. I just didnt want to
ask too many questions at once and confuse everyone. There will definitely
be questions on Tri-pregnancies and also subsequent pregnancies after a
tri-pregnancy. Stay tuned.

I will also probably refine some questions eg I didnt ask about formal
education /employment and its already becoming obvious that a lot of folk
had information based on their occupation. That information may or may not
have been available to others.

The response has been fantastic, especially given that its a weekend - so
far 13 folk have responded - I need LOTS more.

I can tell you that at the moment 69% of folk knew prenatal testing existed
prior to becoming pregnant. That is higher than I expected to be honest.

62% of first pregnancies resulted in a baby with no known problems. And
prior to the late 80's very few people had the benefit of ultrasounds. Basic
information at the moment - but it will grow.

I have not lost my mind - it's backed up on disk somewhere.
