Hello Community!
My husband and I are expecting our first child on April 30, 2011, and we're curious about genetic testing: do's don'ts, heartbreaks because of and success stories. I think I'm leaning towards no testing, but I'd like to get some opinins.
Re: First time Mom at 35
I am 41 and I refused all invasive testing. I am only having the u/s, GD and a level II ultrasound. If you read some of the month boards, you will see massive amounts of women with false positives. This is hard to believe, but I go to a teaching hospital and there is a study concerning the quad on the wall that says that they found no benefit for this test in there clinical study!! Yet they keep asking me to get it! Insurance $$$ I guess.
Oh, and I am from WV too! The study is posted on the wall at CAMC in the ultrasound room in Charleston!
