They don't have to test with a big needle anymore. You can get a false result read about how inaccurate the test is.  I chose not to do it with both of my pregnancies, we decided if there is something wrong we will deal with it at birth since there isn't much you can do anyways. Unless my child has something that would make their life unbearable then we're good we feel that down syndrome and such isn't a terrible issue to deal with as long as everything is developing properly. Goodluck and definitely read up on the test bc it's not very accurate many things can throw it off.
