Anyone had a Chorionic villus sampling?

Sara

I have to get this test done now that I’m pregnant because my husband and I are both carriers for a rare genetic issue regarding surfactant B. If we both pass on a carrier gene, it means our baby wouldn’t survive after birth. So we are getting this test done to know whether or not this baby will be ok. I’ll have a needle through my abdomen to the placenta, or a needle through my cervix to the placenta depending on the placenta location. I’m super, super nervous for a bunch of different reasons. I’m wondering if anyone else has had this procedure done? How much did it hurt or what did it feel like? How long did the procedure take? What week of pregnancy did you have the test done and how long did it take to get the results? Thanks in advance!! (:
