Oh my fucking GOD!With my younger daughter (No, too young Nonny. Nonny! Put that down now.) there was a very increased chance of Spina Bifida from blood tests during pregnancy, complications during the birth (the little bugger tried to die for a bit afterwards, dozy cow) and other stuff like a very hairy back at birth (gone now) and the fact that she is very, very small, even now. I read up on it all I could at the time, but I never looked at pictures really.
I am glad.
Footnote: of course being small could be down to Dwarvism - to test for that there is a procedure which hurts the child a lot and doesn't help as there is nothing which can be done. The chances of her being an Oompah Loompah are small, but if she is, who's up for a B3ta bowling night in Exeter?

Similar storyWhen they did the sonogram on Mrs Foxy they saw a couple things that indicated the baby could have Downs Syndrome. They did an amniocentises, which took two weeks to get the results back. The hull of waiting to find out... coincidentally, i never call anyone retards any more. Thankfully he's fine!

Usually on sonogramsthey measure the thickness of the skin on the neck and based on that they will recommend an amnicentesis. However Amniocenteses are risky for the baby, and painful for the mother. So it is a difficult decision to know whether to have one or not.

Something about...fluid on the kidneys, and something about the cartoid artery. Something like a 1:200-300 chance of something going wrong, and they said the odds were about the same. Don't know what i'd have done if it came back with him having Downs.

We made a decision (both times) before the tests.We thought that the possibility might sway us and so we sat down and decided, based on the situation, what we would do, should the tests say we had spacker spawn, so that we wouldn't have to make the decision when we had bad news to worry about.
As it happens we decided on both occassions that we would look after it, whatever, but that was a decision and is not, necessarily, what we would have chosen at other times.
Thankfully they're just shits and not too deficient physically.
