[quote=Anonymous]I did the one from Natera. I did not like the way they did it. They test the woman first, and only test your spouse if something comes up. Apparently I am a carrier for a rare disease (no known family history), and it took weeks to test my husband and confirm he was not a carrier. I really wish they had tested us both at the same time instead, so that I didn’t have that anxiety hanging over me. While insurance did eventually cover it, when I called for pre-approval they said it wouldn’t be covered, and Natera put a lot of pressure on me to pay privately. Honestly, it was a really stressful experience, and I’m not sure I’d recommend it. It also gave me a false sense of security that I would have a healthy baby. As it turned out, one of my children was born with significant disabilities due to a genetic mutation, which could not have been predicted by the tests.[/quote]
