Anyone opting for genetic testing?

My husband and I opted for genetic testing because I know I already carry at least 1 genetic disorder. I'm going to be setting up an appointment for a sequential screen soon as well.

Anyone else doing this testing? What is a sequential screen like?

I did the genetic testing. I don't have any disorders in my family or my bfs family but we wanted peace of mind that everything was ok and the baby is healthy. And it came back low risk.

Yeah, getting an extra ultrasound is definitely a good thing!

I am just to hopefully ease my mind.  We aren't high risk, but it's an extra ultrasound (I only get two otherwise), and I would probably worry until birth if I don't do it.  I scheduled mine today for next Tuesday and got my blood drawn for it today.
