When I was expecting our third, I was 34. New Jersey had put in a requirement for doctors to inform their 'older' mothers about the importance of amniocentsis. I asked my Doc what they would need to look for, besides Down's, since I wouldn't have aborted, no matter what. He said one thing that could be important to know would be if the baby had a neural tube syndrome. I asked if that could be seen on an ultrasound, and he said it could, so I refused the amnio, and had an ultrasound.
When we had our fourth, in MA, I don't remember my Doc suggesting an amnio at all, but I might have told him early on that I wouldn't be interested. ;o)

God bless you. Because of the mixture of blood types, I had to undergo them.
No Down babies, although my son and daughter in law birthed one, then adopted another.
