		<description>Babe, with so much to worry about live in your damn pjs!!  I&#039;m all for it.  

The needle and thought of an amnio would freak me out as well but it could be so much worse - you could be on forced bedrest at the hospital instead you&#039;re in your home and happy in pjs.

Terror is easy during pregnancy, working to calm it is hard but look at your gorgeous little boy - it&#039;s worth finding your calm.  I think you should talk to your Dr about it - if said Dr is worth his salt he will find a way to show you if it&#039;s really necessary AND calm you so that you can come thru it ok.  Pregnant crazy women (and I was one, twice!) are something those Drs can talk to to calm.  God knows the Drs at the IWK had their hands full with me as they tried to explain why I had tested positive for spina bifida at 21 weeks... to calm me down before they did the ultrasound as I wouldn&#039;t let them touch me without explaining it to me first.  They did calm me down, but most of it was just getting out the fear... fear is nasty.

I wish I was there to help.  Yeah, I know, never met you face to face but so want to help.

		<description>Dear Cassie,
I totally understand your fear of that needle, but let me tell you this: it&#039;s gonna be ok! I&#039;ve had amnio for both kids, and it&#039;s far from awful really. You don&#039;t get to see the needle unless you want to, and you just feel a little pinch when they insert it, but nothing unbearable. It does not last very long either, but after you will need to rest probably laying down on your back. I know when the pregnancy comes to an end, everything is so overwhelming, the joy and fear feelings of that new adventure mix up together and we don&#039;t always think straight, but I&#039;m sure you are gonna be just fine and so is baby Rocky. Think about all the joy he&#039;s about to bring into your life, and you&#039;ll know this exam is totally worth it for his well being. If you need to talk, I&#039;m right there ... Be strong mama, your new little prince is just a few days away now and he&#039;s probably getting impatient to be in your arms!</description>
