We also asked our doctor if we should not consider having another child. Elmo said "we want one more." We've actually been toying with the idea for a while and I told Elmo he had until I turn 39 to decide. I don't want to be having a baby after I'm 40. Doc said "who wouldn't?" (He has several children of his own.) He asked why we wouldn't. I pointed out my age. He said that while risk factors increase with age, I am healthy and take good care of myself. So, if we want another, we shouldn't let our fear (even of down syndrome) stop us. Go for it! So... that is settled. I didn't want for us to decide to have another, ask the doc, and then have hopes crushed. I wanted the doc's opinion early-on.
