XP: A little MaterniT21 FYI

QuigleyCat1 · March 2013

I had my blood drawn this morning. I strongly suggest calling your "regular" lab where you go for bloodwork BEFORE you go. I took my paperwork to my typical lab and they didn't have the right kit for this screening! Not too big of a deal I guess, but I had to drive an extra 2 or 3 exits to get to a lab that did have the proper kit. I quick call ahead of time might save you some drive time and work time. Instead of one hour late to work I was two. My bosses are excellent when it comes to time off for anything but I'm trying to accumulate as much maternity time as I can so I'm trying to use the least amount of "sick" time as possible! Anyway, make the call just to be sure! Have a wonderful Friday, ladies!!

Yep, most labs don't have the kit, at least my area. I'm surprised your doctor did not inform you which labs would be able to do it? When I got the paperwork from my doc, they immediately told me there was only 1 lab in the area that could do

I had the Verifi and my doctor's office gave me the kit to bring to the lab so there was no issue. Sorry you had to make extra stops - you think they would have warned you.
