NIPT tests?

Chas

I had my first OB appointment yesterday and I was given a paper with options for 3 separate genetic tests for abnormalities like downs and trisomy. It wasnt really explained to me at all and I was feeling overwhelmed so didnt ask much and just checked yes for all 3.

I'm just now realizing that I'm pretty sure this is the testing that they usually only offer to women with risk factors like maternal age and what not so I'm not sure if I should do it or not. I wasnt even offered any of these in my first pregnancy.

One is an ultrasound and the other two are blood tests, all 3 done at 12 weeks.

Any thoughts ladies? Have you had these tests? Would you recommend them or no?
