[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Talk to your doctor. Do the maternity 21. If your numbers are at risk they will recommend the amnio. The maternity 21 is supposed to take the place of the amnio. I understand your concerns but, don't want you to have tests you don't need. My genetic counselor was great with answering all of our questions and concerns. [/quote] MT21 will not replace amnio until it covers the same broad spectrum of disorders. OP, it's really a matter of how much information and certainty YOU need. Everybody is different in that respect. Nobody can tell you (like PP did) that the amnio is a test "you don't need". If you want more information than those three trisomies, then you need a CVS or an amnio. If you are fine with knowing less, you don't need it. You have make that decision yourself. The risk of the procedures is very low with an experienced provider, certainly lower than having a chromosomal abnormality at your age. But a small risk remains, and if you are not willing to take it, that is also a very reasonable decision.[/quote]
