Down syndrome test , confused!!!!

Tehkeeyah • I'm a army wife and this is my second pregnancy. I had a miscarriage and hoping this one is a healthy baby
I went to talk to my docotor and before she came in I was talking to the nurse about the test. She said it's totally up to me to have the test but then she started telling me a story about her sister in law. She said her sister in law had the test at 15 weeks and the test came back positive but when the baby was born she was healthy. I'm so confused , the test doesn't matter I'll keep my baby either way but why take it if it's not accurate . I'm so confused
