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.
What does this test tests on??
Im currently 21 years old and 14 weeks pregnant with baby #2 I did testing two weeks ago, doctors office called me today said no abnormalities, baby is perfect, and also did a gender screening, and found out im having a girl. Yaay, I have a son that will be 4 in june, so this was exciting news, good luck to all, and stay positivee!!! Everything will work out.
Haha BarrB I feel ancient too :(
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..
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.
No I want to but idk if my insurance covers it
