1st trimester scan and bloodwork

Tomorrow I am having my NT scan and genetic counseling. They sure do scare you when you are over 34yrs old! I just heard today that there is a new blood test to check for downs and certain genitic markers and the sex of the baby!!. It is 99.9 accurate! I am for sure getting it. It may not be fully covered by my insurance because it is so new. But so less invasive than the amnio!

Re: 1st trimester scan and bloodwork

  • I had the blood work done for the genetic test with downs and gender just last Wednesday.  I will be getting the results back by latest next wed, we are really happy we decided to do this test even though I am only 31, it's just peace
  • That's great. We don't have that option here. Ours is still the 90-95% accurate process. 99.9% sounds like 100% to me but with their 'safety net' - so that sounds fantastic.
