[tri-wings] Re: update (pregnancy mentioned)


Hi Sam;

I'm glad things are going well so far.  I'm with you on the amnio 
(didn't even have one with Jeremiah even WITH all of his markers!) but 
wanted to make sure before you do the AFP that you know that they only 
have a 60% accuracy rate according to the head of the College of 
Midwives here in Ontario (she's MY midwife! gotta love that!) ;-)  Just 
hope there are no false (or positive!) scares!
