Re: Did you have a blood test to test for down's syndrome and chromosome illnesses while pregnant? - August 20th 2010, 08:40 AM

I have been offered the tests with both my pregnancies, and I did the test both times. This is a completely personal choice and all people make the decision for personal reasons. Some say they wont do the test because it would not matter if something was wrong. My reasoning for doing the test is that if it came back abnormal I could prepare myself for a special needs child more if that were the case instead of being completely throw under the bus when he/she was born.

As for amnio, if my test results came back abnormal I am not sure if I would do amnio. As of right now, I say no. But I am not actually facing the decision, so I cannot be sure.
