thank you ladies @haydensmom1994 and @waitingformyuniverse . I can totally understand the worry because sickle cell is a very painful and dangerous disease (I'm a lab tech and test for it all the time). Do what you think is best and just know that you're baby is the most amazing blessing no matter the results

@ginnalynn, def was a good response. and i would love my child no matter too. .i love him unconditionally now, and i havnt even met him lol. It was just a worry, my child could possible have sickle cell. So every little thing worries me because thats my baby of course. 😉

@ginnalynn, love your response!💞

I didn't take it because it wouldn't have mattered if my son had Down Syndrome or not, I still would love him just the same

@waitingformyuniverse, I didn't take it I'll wait till after he born

as long my baby it's healthy I'm fine ..

I don't think they'd do the blood test this late they'd wanna do an amniocentesis which is extremely painful and they'll lie and say it's not but it is and not even worth it. down syndrome is pretty rare so the chances are so low that I don't find it necessary.

no I didn't

@waitingformyuniverse, your age and genetic markers. Don't be! I was a mess my whole pregnancy because of that false positive. As long as the fluid behind babies neck was normal and she's has a nasal bridge don't worry about the test.

but how would you even know your high risk if you never tested for it. @jessica0830 i worry alot so imma kinda upset now for not taking it lol

I would NEVER get an amniocentesis done again

I had the blood test and the amniocentesis to test for Down's syndrome when I was pregnant. They came back saying my son has Down's syndrome. And I was a high risk pregnancy

I didn't the second time. I got a false positive with my daughter had to do an amino an all just for her to be perfect.... if you aren't on the high risk cat for it it's not worth the worry.

same! ^
