If you want I can pass it on via email. Just email me privately at [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you would like a copy for your friend. IMHO amnios are not worth the risk and should not be done after 4 months gestation. They are supposed to do those a lot earlier if there is a high risk of problems and only in cases where a woman may wish to terminate the pregnancy.   Chees,   Cas. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Rhonda Sent: Tuesday, 21 January 2003 10:20 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [ozmidwifery] Had a win today   I have a friend who is about 4 months pregnant - due in about June I think.  She was telling me today that they want her to have an amniosentisis to check for Downs syndrome etc...   She is 27 yrs old and this is her first shild with no history in the family of disability. Why would they want her to have a test like that done?  She is not high risk as far as i can tell.  the only other factor which I can think of and can not believe is that she is very dark skinned African and her husband a white Australian.   Anyone got any idea why the hospital would request she do this? I told her of the risks that they had not mentioned.   Rhonda. -------Original Message-------   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tuesday, January 21, 2003 22:09:50 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [ozmidwifery] Had a win today   Duck Aviva!!   A pinards is the 'ear trumpet' that was used to listen to the baby's heart beat before the invention of sonicaids and monitors. I have a beautiful hand turned pinards made from ash. Sadly many 'modern' midwives don't have the comfidence to use one.   Sally ----- Original Message ----- From: Aviva Sheb'a To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 21, 2003 11:09 AM Subject: Re: [ozmidwifery] Had a win today OK, wot's pinards?
