Answer

I did early testing last pregnancy and I’ll get my blood drawn next week to have it done this time too. Most of the time everything comes back normal which in my case just provides me extra reassurance that baby is likely to be healthy. And if something comes back positive, it just guided me to get diagnostic testing done and at least I’m more prepared instead of being surprised at birth
