Anyone doing this?

Question

I had my genetic testing done at 10 weeks and everything came back good. Now last week when I had my 12 week appointment they told me that there is a second part to it called the neural tube defect test also known as “MSAFP test” anyway, has anyone or is anyone planning to do this test? They say this test just causes more stress because it gives more false positives than any other test. Just wondering if it’s even worth doing?

Answer

I haven't done any of the genetic testing. My SO and I talked it over and it isn't going to change the outcome. We decided to set that money aside instead. It's our child no matter what happens. And the tests often cause more stress than it is worth. Since you already did the first round and it was good I would save your money for things you new for you or for the baby.

Answer

We did it this time because we skipped it last time and they found a few soft markers during our anatomy scan and scared the crap out of us telling us we should have done the genetic testing. Our son ended up being a-okay, but we were scarred by all of the things they said and just decided to do the testing this time. My results from the first part came back low risk and I had the second part drawn today. I also did the testing where they see if I’m a carrier for CF, SMA or Fragile X. I was just curious to know because my dad’s sister had muscular dystrophy and that’s what keeps showing up as a red flag every time they go over our risks. I’m an over-stresser, so I just like to be prepared when I can!

Answer

I had to because I had a stillbirth in August.

Answer

Sorry. Denied genetic testing because of what the other ladies said.

Answer

Don’t worry. It’s a two part test even if the first part is normal. Mine is coming up in 2 weeks I believe. Positive vibes
