Has anyone opted out of the genetic testing (down syndrome, trisomy, etc...)?

I had it done because for prep and for better care. If my child did have anything proper care would be needed at birth with the right doctors.

I did, I see no reason for them. I will love the baby regardless. if anything were to show up as a red flag in my ultrasound I'd get testing. luckily, nothing did.

Yes, which was one of the only reasons why I would have done the testing... For prep. Thank you for your input momma@no3lastone4me

@10yearslater , only reason I didn't opt out was so I could be prepared for it! It doesn't give you a yes or no answer anyways, just tells you the number in which how much risk you are.

@prettyyellow, @no3lastone4me @paisleysmama0216 @hale @karnawest @edomke @theredheadchic thanks ladies, for those that opted out... Thank you for sharing, I opted out and was very comfortable doing so... Anatomy scan came and went and all looks great. I opted out because of anxiety and because the outcome won't change but lately I've been second guessing my decision. I feel better knowing I'm not alone. For those that got it, thanks for sharing either way lol.

I didn't opt out BUT I told myself afterwards that I should've bc my anxiety was through the roof & it didn't matter what the outcome was gna b either way. Just unnecessary added stress for someone like me. The one good thing was I got an extra ultrasound though! I was super excited about that! 😊

Yes and I'm happy I didn't. My friends friend got a false positive and thought throughout her whole pregnancy her baby had Down syndrome

I opted out with both mine.... Cross that bridge when it comes kinda thing for me.

I had it done yesterday. I don't know. I just wanted to know. More than anything I just wanted the additional ultrasound. Lol I just like seeing my baby.

I opted out since I decided that even IF something would have been wrong with baby girl I would still love her & keep her...she was born with nothing worse than a small heart murmur

@10yearslater, Had mine done last week.

I opted out of it when I was pregnant, but only because I know myself well I have anxiety and I just didn't want to stress myself out incase something did happen to be wrong plus either way I was still going to love and keep my baby.
