They'll test for Trisomy 13, 18, 21 and Downs Syndrome-all chromosome disorders. It doesn't always mean your baby will have it, but it can tell you if further testing is recommended and you can get the right kind of care if necessary. @coey247

It's Edwards syndrome. There's an extra chromosome just like downs. They usually test for it at the same time they test for downs. It causes abnormalities and developmental issues. They do a blood screening. Mine came back high risk so I had to get all these other tests done. My baby is okay but it was still scary. I'm only 23 and its uncommon for anyone pregnant under 35. They just have to give me an ultrasound every other week now to monitor everything is going smoothly.

I recommend doing all of the testing personally, because if there is something than you know and you can prepare.

I had a friend do the testing with her first and they gave her a 99% chance he'd have downs. Born perfectly fine...

I'm 23, tested it at 18 weeks and it came back low percentile for actual downs but high risk for trisomy 18

Ok I'm 32 yrs old too. I'm at 10 weeks 1 day. They wanna test me at 12 weeks. Hopefully I get the same odds.

I did it. I'm 32, did a blood work and ultrasound test at 13 weeks. Results were 1 in 18,000.
