[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes it’s possible. NIPT is not 100% and it is possible to get diagnosed at birth. I would get to a pediatrician ASAP as they will be able to assess and order genetic testing to confirm. [/quote] Can I just request a blood test? She had a heal prick at birth that checked for PKU, cystic fibrosis and a few others but not DS. Our other children had more extensive labs drawn at their 6 week peditrician appointment but not sure if they test for Down syndrome specifically. Would I need to request that directly?[/quote]
