where I'm at it's called the maternity 21 I've had it done with my last & this time I had one done that wasn't as in depth as that one that one told us gender & all the one I got this time just checked for down syndrome & trisomy 18 & a couple others I cant remember
I did one since I'm adopted and so is my husband's mom since we don't have accurate family histories. it's not a big deal and your OB can figure out an excuse for insurance to cover it. They don't do it until 16 weeks.

@aek91, it's a blood test to detect abnormal chromosomes in your baby.

Oh and it's to figure out your CHANCES Of chromosomal abnormalities which will then prompt the need for the more serious and invasive testing.

Yep, I did it. Took the weight off my shoulders as an older high risk first time mom.
