Amniocentesis because of short nasal bone.

Just a bit upset to find after our 20 week scan that the fetus has a hypoplastic nasal bone. Amniocentesis is a scary process with a 2 week waiting time and we will terminate if its down syndrome positive. Sending everyone love for their anxieties - not an easy time for anyone and I'm not feeling great that I'm signing up for a risky process. Feel like I'm failing the fetus already.
