Genetic Testing

My husband and I opted out of genetic testing early in my pregnancy due to cost and insurance not covering it unless the doctor ordered it. Now at 29 weeks and finding a Downs Syndrome marker at my anatomy scan, I'm trying to patiently wait for the results. I really don't care either way, I just want the results. It's the waiting that's killing me.

What was the marker? A physical trait or test

I totally understand. I had testing done too even though i was reassured he was fine by the doctor. We did the maternit21 test after they found the markers. Good luck!

That's what the specialist said too. I just want to know either way. Ya know?

My son had the same thing and he came our perfect. He actually had a 2nd DS marker. The bright spot is an EIF and actually quite common.
