[quote=Anonymous]OP, to answer your question as to why someone would choose to do CVS or amnio when the NIPT is low risk, it is to be extra sure that the fetus is healthy. We are one of those families - did CVS with my daughter at age 27, and now with my latest pregnancy at age 36 (16 weeks today). We did CVS and not amnio for both - yes, there is a miscarriage risk, but it is very low and we made sure to choose a provider that does such testing frequently, thus having a skilled hand. We have to do IVF due to both DH and I having fertility issues, and we wanted to be as sure as we possibly could that we were having a healthy baby after all of the hard work to get there. Yes, the CVS hurts, and I assume the amnio does too, but for us it was worth it to have peace of mind.

We told immediate family around 8 weeks this time, but only our parents. There was one close friend who knew before that because we needed her help watching our daughter during the IVF process, but that’s it. We didn’t start telling others until we had the CVS results back, and we don’t announce anything of social media until the birth. However, that is just how we are - we are pretty private with most things. It is all up to you and your comfort level - I do think your OB may have overstepped a bit. [/quote]
