[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would you do the screening if you don’t the results? 
The point is screen and then diagnose if screening is abnormal. [/quote]

Yes, that’s the whole point. Talk to someone about your anxiety. No guarantees in life OP. They can pick up stuff at ultrasounds they can’t pick up through amino. Healthy fetuses can suffer oxygen deprivation at birth and end up with brain damage or cerebral palsy. If your NIPT was good, just relax. You’re not that old, and the risks are not that much higher at 37 than say, 30. If you were 47, maybe, but you’re not. [/quote]

OP here, this isn’t about anxiety, it’s about the benefit of a diagnostic test versus a screening. I was looking for other moms who have considered this issue and wanted to get their thoughts. Obviously there are no guarantees with anything involving pregnancy and childbirth, or for that matter child rearing, but as a PP mentioned, there is an appeal to the level of comfort a diagnostic test provides as opposed to a screening. It sounds like several other PPs had similar concerns, so I’m hardly alone in thinking about these issues. [/quote]

Seems like anxiety to me. I’d be surprised if insurance would cover an amino without a reason. That’s why they do the screenings first. [/quote]

Most insurance companies have no problem covering amnio or cvs for women over 35. It's a normal test when you are AMA. As long as your OB orders it and states you are AMA it should be no issue.Because if there is in fact something that very wrong it saves them money in the long run.

Honestly I will never understand the reactions people give when moms want diagnostic testing. Why are you all so against it? The risk to the fetus is literally almost nothing with experienced MFMs. Get over it. [/quote]
