Who is doing the first trimester genetic testing? why or why not

Question

genetic testing? why or why not" />

Answer

we decided to keep the baby no matter what. the screening can only give you statistics on how likely for example down syndrome might be, not a diagnosis. based on that you could make decisions if you want further testing. we didn't want the stress of possibly having to make decisions, that we never wanted to make in the first place... but I can definitely understand if you would want to know.

Answer

Non-invasive testing, yes. I almost didn't get tested with my daughter because I knew we wouldn't terminate. Decided to go ahead with the testing. We were shocked to find out she has Down syndrome. It gave us time to prepare for a different baby than we thought we were having. It gave us time to come to terms with the change in plans and educate ourselves on DS and disability in general. She is the best baby! I wouldn't trade her for anything!

Answer

I do it for the extra ultrasound :)

Answer

We are doing the genetic screenings because some of the diseases that they screen for I couldn't force a child to live with, particularly triosomy 13 and cystic fibrosis.

Answer

My first pregnancy was high risk. We are doing it to be prepared in the event of something showing up. Also, we want to find out the gender sooner.

Answer

Only to find out gender. I don't even need to be told the other results it won't change anything for me.

Answer

just to know. and extra ultrasound. and find out sex

Answer

I’ve had family members do all the testing and had results that said their baby was going to have this condition or that condition and one was even told her pregnancy wasn’t going to last. Turns out, everything was fine. No conditions and the woman who was “supposed to lose” her baby made it all the way and had a great baby. I won’t do testing because they aren’t accurate and make you more stressed than you need to be.

Answer

it depends on the cost. I would like to be prepared if there are any abnormalities but obviously wouldnt want unnecessary testing.

Answer

Was told if nt comes back good no need to do the other tests since im only 30
