First Appointment

Is it at the first appointment where they take blood for testing the baby for downs syndrome,  etc? Also , does anyone know if the charge extra to have blood work done to find the gender of the baby instead of waiting until 5 months?

They do. It's super expensive. But it also does additional gentile testing thats more accurate than the pre-screen
