Quick Question

[BarrB]

Good evening group...Did anyone do genetic testing?

[tmomma8315]

We actually did it before getting pregnant as we were going thru fertility treatments and the doc recommended it.  Both parents have to be a carrier to have any real risk, my testing came back negative for everything so hubby didn't even have to do it. Nice peace of mind.

I opted out of the tests for two reasons - my insurance doesn't cover them and there have never been any abnormalities on either side of the family for both my boyfriend and I.

I did mine but I get my nuchil scan tues I guess they will tell me bout blood work then.  I go see my OB on the 17th hope all will be ok!!! I'm nervous as hell

Im 30 and found out i was prego at 12 weeks, my doc said I missed the first round but can take a blood test at 16 weeks, which checks for downs, and trisomy 17 & 18 i believe....

I wasn't going to but husband wanted to because of problems on his side of the family.  I wanted the harmony test done too but doctor said I could not get it as I was not advanced maternal age.

I feel old too! Will be 35 when baby's born. Insurance covered all genetic testing and all came back perfect.

Haha BarrB I feel ancient too :(

[BarrB]

I'm 35 too. My husband and I have no family history but I guess due to my age the recommend it. I feel ancient. Sigh..

[Ladybug704]

I actually had my blood drawn today for it. I took the Harmony test because my doctor recommended it due to my age (35).I know insurance covers it if you're over 35 or have a history of chromosomal abnormalities in the family.
