Are you getting genetic testing done? Why or why not?

Question

Answer

I'm 25, me and my husband are healthy nothing in our family history.  Also I wanted to enjoy my pregnancy there's nothing you can really do if there's a "problem" and know matter the outcome we were keeping the baby.

Answer

Most likely yes, Im 37 so Im considered high risk because of age. I did the Panorama when I was pregnant with my 4 month old. I found out I was having a girl through the test:) so that was a plus.

Answer

I will be due to being a carrier of a genetic condition. Wednesday this week I will have bloods done to find out if we're having a girl or boy x

Answer

I might be. I have to find out if it's covered by my insurance. Only reason is I want an earlier US lol. I don't get one till 18-20 weeks. If I do the genetic testing it's bloodwork and US 11-14 weeks. I have to call my insurance company before I can decide.

Answer

I'm 35, my husband is 42. If I can be prepared, I want to know.

Answer

Yes 
1. Because I'm going to have to pay my deductible ($2,600) so I might as well get my money's worth. 
2. I would rather be prepared

Answer

I plan on getting it. The only reason is, if there would be anything "wrong" my husband and I would want to be prepared and know what we are dealing with. Rather than being surprised and unprepared.

Answer

I didn't with my son but will be this time bc my sister had a baby that didn't survive at 20 weeks due to a genetic anomaly that caused hydrocephalus 😭. And now I'm super nervous 😬

Answer

We didn't for our last 2 and our second had Anencephaly, a neural tube defect where the skull doesn't form so we may discuss the possibility of testing this time more.

Answer

I carry hemophilia, there are two tests I could have done to determine the baby's status before birth but I always choose not to because of the risk of miscarriage even though it is very small.
