Testing for genetic conditions during pregnancy?

Question

So it's up to me if I want to go ahead with the genetic testing program to test for things like trisomy, Down syndrome, spine abifida. I'm so so torn between wanting to test so my mind can be put at ease/I can prepare for what is expected and not testing what do you ladies think about this?

Answer

I decided not to test so if something iwas wrong I wouldn't spend the rest of my pregnancy worrying. For me I figured it would do more harm then good.

Answer

I didn't do any of the testing because it didn't matter either way for us. There's also a chance of a false positive and there's no way I was doing an amniocentesis or cvs. But I was also 23 with no genetic issues in our families so the chances were very low.

Answer

For the sake of your child I would get the testing.

Answer

My boyfriend is a sonographer... I will for sure be getting tested multiple times when we get pregnant. He always says they don't do enough scans on the baby in a regular pregnancy lol I see it as yeah you might be worried at first but you will know how to prepare and you will take better care of yourself if that is the case.

Answer

We did genetic testing after I lost my pregnancy. Fortunately everything was negative. No if I ever manage to get pregnant again, I wouldn't have to worry

Answer

I think you should for the sheer fact you seem to be uneducated. It's Spina Bifida.. Not Spine Abifida.
