[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the OP of this thread and I'm now 17 weeks along. my NT scan came back totally normal and both my MFM and OB recommended against CVS/amnio at this point, so I followed their rec. My MFM did say that if anything concerning comes up at the anatomy scan, we could revisit doing an amnio at that point. [/quote]

Thanks for the update. Glad you went with what the OB and MFM said (which is what several of us were telling you). [/quote]

NIPT/Nuchal are Screenings. They are in no way diagnostic. Had a friend under 35 have both and both looked good and gave birth to a baby with Down's syndrome.

But also they only screen for a couple of things. An amnio can catch much more. I don't understand why people are so afraid of amnios. The risk of a complication from it so absurdly low. And even lower with an extremely experienced doctor. The fear mongering over amnios really needs to stop. I had people tell me "the needle is so huge, it's so painful etc...). The needle is a regular size, the actual test lasts under a minute and the pain was extremely minimal (really not even pain-just weird/uncomfortable). And even with amnio and even with extended microarray you still can't test for EVERYTHING but I wanted to test for everything that I could.[/quote]
