| I'm so on the fence about this and need to decide quick. I'm 33 and will be 34 the end of Aug. My midwife said not to if I would not change anything and the chance of a false positive are high and that would cause undo stress but I also recall reading that the chance of a false positive on the triple screen later are greater then the early blood test. If that's the case then I feel like maybe I should just go ahead and do it and skip the later one. Another thought I had was to have the u/s and if anything looked not right then to do the blood otherwise just skip the blood part since I know it's that part that could throw everything off and maybe get the triple screen later, I'm not sure if they'd let me just do the u/s at this point and put off the blood till later..
I know they look for downs and I'm not to concerned with that since nothing would change but they also look for the risk of other major things, correct? Oh I hate making decisions like this, it was so much easier when they didn't even offer it with my DS!! |
