The scary part of pregnancy

The wife has a 'cough'. That in and of itself isn't scary, but it hasn't gotten better and despite my suggestions she call her doctor she hasn't yet. Oh the frustration...

Today was the first time I've officially felt 'fear' during the pregnancy: She was about to take the risk test for Downs. Risk factors, certain weeks, etc- all add in, and in another two weeks she's back for another round of tests to give us a percentage chance that the baby will have downs. Personally, can't ya just pull a sample and screen it?
11 weeks and 1 day old, approximately, as measured by ultrasound.
