  Anatomy scan is the 20 week "big" ultrasound - also when you can choose to find out gender.

  MaterniT21 is one of the brands of new non-invasive trisomy testing available.  Other brands include Harmony and Verifi, but there are others as well.  M21 I think is the most popular.  It tests for Trisomy 13, 18 and 21 and can provide gender info anytime after week 10.

  What do you mean by noninvasive? What exactly do they do?

  It's just a simple blood test.  I just had my NT scan yesterday and they did the US then I had my blood drawn.  I have to go a second time to have another blood draw during a certain time period.  My insurance will pay for the Harmony test since I am 39 so the Doc ordered that one for me.  I should have results in a week or 2.  Relax....being over 35 isn't as bad as it is made out to be I promise

  Thanks....to be honest I didn't really put much thought into my age when we started ttc, but now after reading through all the posts I was starting to panic a little!  I don't like needles....its been hard enough to handle the betas
