1st Trimester

tests

When i went to my first OB appt. the doctor talked to us about testing for cystic fibrosis and down syndrome, not because of health issue. Just normal testing if we choose to get it done.  I just want everyone's opion. Did you get the tests done or not?? 

Re: tests

  • we are having it done tomorrow just so we know what to expect if something is wrong (trying to stay positive)

  • We never have for other pregnancies and won't for this one either. Discontinuing the pregnancy will never be an option for us. And if there are special needs, we will address those when we need to

  • No tests for us. I've had a couple friends get false positives and they spent so much time worrying over nothing. If our child was born with special needs we would figure it out from there.

  • I got both the blood tests and the NT scan with my first and will be doing so again. They did say that many women will have certain tests, like the blood test for cystic fibrosis risk, only with their first. I would like to point out that lots of people do not get these tests because they intend to terminate their pregnancy if there is a problem. We decided to do them so we would know what to expect ahead of time.
