Disagreement over amnio

So some of your know that I declined the amnio to find out if my little princess has DS about a month ago. Well today I just brought up the subject with DH on when we should do it. I was thinking around 32 weeks. I want to do it for peace of mind and to know what to expect before she is born. DH is dead set against it!! He wont even think about it. He says he doesnt want to know and that it is in Gods hands. I want to be prepared! I know that its my body and if I really want to do it, I will , but I would really like his support. UGH!! He doesnt want to take a chance that anything bad will happen to me or the baby. He just dosent undersatnd. What do you ladies think?? Should I just wait and find out when she is born?? Or should I go against my DH and do it anyways?? Too many desisions, lol:)
Thanks, Tabitha

This is a tough one. I understand both of your opinions, seriously I have no idea what I would do in this situation. I am sorry I must have missed your original post about getting an ammino. Has your doctor given you a reason to believe that your baby girl could have ds???

I hope you guys can come into agreement about this decision.  Just like Kimberlee said either way your baby girl will be loved no matter what!!

Good luck and I keep you guys in my prayers!

I would do it just to better prepare myself for her arrival. I'd just explain to him it's not going to change your mind about how much you love her, it's in god's hands no matter if you get the amnio or not, and being prepared for her arrival and taking the precautions you need to after shes born is important. If he still isn't okay with it, it *****, but it IS your body, so do what you think is best for you and your baby. Good luck!!
