has anyone gotten the down syndrome test idk what it consists of and my obgyn didn't even tell me I needed it 😰

@shortizzie, really??

@shortizzie, oh man so they are most likely just taking my money and freaking me out great

i took it and it consist of an ultra sound and a blood sample..little prick on your finger

@quansmom2016, oh okay good thanks

welcome

shes right, there is a huge false positive rate so we decided not to do it.. we figured if it was positive, i would stress myself out so much so we figured it was not worth it and it wouldnt change anything for us anyway if something was wrong with baby.. A lot of the time, they can tell if something is up from the 20 week scan and if they noticed something on that, then we would have agreed to it..

@shortizzie, @ash_505 my Dr said I have to cause if the baby is born with anything she has to report it

mine was also just blood test and ultrasound. I think unless it comes back positive that's all you need

I did it and all they did was an ultrasound and blood work.

@bugandstomachebug, @britt16 oh okay I thought it would consist of more since they are charging me 800 dollars

@curlykarla, wow that's alot! I would ask what exactly your being charged for

Does your insurance not pay for it? @curlykarla

@bugandstomachebug, I did but since my MIL works there they said she knows 😒

@britt16, no OT doesn't:(

@curlykarla, ah that sucks.

It was just a blood test for me and it came back normal.

That's weird your ins won't pay for it

My midwife told me it was 98% accurate if it was taken at the right time with the correct gestational age, funny how we're all told something different lol

@curlykarla, o wow that's kinda messed up, especially since you asked them and can't believe insurance won't cover

I had it done. they just took my blood and told me the results and also told me the gender. my insurance paid for it
