Bad Thoughts in Back of Mind Regarding Amnio Results

Ok so here is my problem. When I was about 16 weeks pregnant, I had quad screen results saying I had a 1:18 chance of having a baby with Downs. I had a second quad screening done with more abnormal results also. Long story short, I had an amnio done and the results came back normal. I still can't help to think that my baby will come out with something wrong. Im due in early December and keep worrying about this. Anyone know how accurate amnios are or have any similar experiences?
