I don't know what is wrong with me?? I can't make any decisions! It so not like me. Being pregnant is making me silly! lol. I guess the answer will come to me, I have some time. I don't go back to my doctor until the 7th. Thanks everyone for your answers.
I am having a similar test but it is called an Ultrascreen. they measure the fluid by the babys neck- all done by ultrasound and they ***** your finger. I am having this done on Tues.
Did you end up doing the test?
hi! when i was pregnant with my last the doc asked me if i wanted that test done and he called it trisomy. by us they measure the thickness of the fetus' neck. no needles or fluids taken. all done by us. he also said this is fairly newly offered. its supposed to fairly accurate.
I created a blog that answers a bunch of these questions. http://pregnancy.womanblog.com
The deciding is the worst part... I have been indecisive this whole pregnancy about everything. Haha! :)
Thanks, that doesn't sound too bad. I still don't know if I will do it....ugh decisons, decisions.....
Its a level 2 ultrasound. If you have ever had a miscarriage doctors usually recommend that you get it done. I was supposed to get it done however I never did. My doctor told me that you can get the level 2 ultrasound done or you can wait and get the blood test that tests for down syndrome. The ultrasound is about 90% accurate and the blood test is like 80%.
Oh, that doesn't sound fun. I am probably going to wait until it's neccessary. Thank you for you for the info, I will look it up on the internet.
I think the test she wants you to think is one for downe syndrome my OB doctor told me when am 20wks am scard cause i read in a book they take this needle and suck out some of the fluids around the baby and test it
