genetic testing

[kissesnhugs97]

So my husband and I were at the doctors the other day and they bought up genetic testing I want to get it done and he doesn't want too even though our insurance will cover it 100%. The reason I want to get it done is because my youngest nephew (my sister's child)was born with spinia bifida and I am 34 could possibly be 35 by the the time the baby will be here. What everyone's thought if u got it done how did it go

I'm getting the genetic testing via blood work. They said if anything comes up abnormal id need to go for a amnio but this blood test is up to 98-99% accurate. This test did not exist when I was pregnant in my area 3yeas ago with my first.

I was suggested to have that done at 4 month pregnant but I am afraid of the chances it has of losing the baby so I decided to have that special scan to  check for abnormalities at 12 weeks..

wouldnt change my feelings but it would be nice to be prepare for it.  The test we will be getting also test for downs

Which test is that? I have always gotten the test for downs and all that but it was so I could make sure my baby would get the best care possible.
   I suppose you can ask yourself if knowing would change your.feelings towards your baby?
