I understand both points, yes and no but my sister had this test done and they said there was a very high probability that her baby would have Downs Syndrome. We all worried the entire pregnancy. He daughter was born completely healthy with no syndrome at all. The tests are not always right. Just be cautious.
Genetic testing for baby?
Just had our first appointment today. My doctor suggested getting genetic testing for the baby by doing a blood test around 12 weeks. The test would determine if there are any chromosomal defects (such as the one that causes Down syndrome). We're low risk but she said it helps either give you peace of mind or prepare for what's to come with the appropriate specialists.
We'll probably do it because it's covered by insurance, but I've just never heard of this before. Just curious who else has encountered this. Did you do the testing?
Happy and healthy pregnancies to everyone!
