High Risk Mummy

Hello mummy,
Before you do the next test, i would like to suggest you discuss with your hubby the following things.
1) If further test finding confirm that bb has DS, will both of you decide to terminate the pregancy OR will still want to give birth? If the answer is still want to give birth, then i suggest you to save the $$$ on the test. Because the result is of no value.
2) Is 99% result accuracy sufficient for both of you to make a decision? If Yes, then you can proceed with Harmony test
3) If you must have 100% result accuracy before you will take any decision, then you should skip harmony test and do aminotest instead, but you must be mindful that amintest carry a tiny risk of misccarriage. If you are the type that cannot accept any miscarriage risk, then you should stick with harmony test.
Hope the above help both of you decide what is best step forward for your family. Every family is different & unique, therefore only the both of you will know what is best thing to do.
Jia you.
I am happy to note that you have done your statistic search and know exactly what you will commit. That good good.
Incidentally, i am sure you will be aware that this is afterall just another forum, there will be many mummy inside here who are tested positive via oscar and harmony yet give birth to prefectly healthy child and there will also be lot of mummy who are tested negative and still give birth to child with Ds.
Jia you. All will turn out sui sui for your family de.
Appreciate your thoughts.
This is my 2nd pregnancy. The 1st healthy one was 10 years ago. Thereafter about 3-4 early miscarriages until now I am in 14-weeks.
Oh haha. My 姑姑has a son who was dead when 5/6 years old, heart defective. My hubby's elder Sister has a DS son, now already 14 years old. I don't know if these were from the same family gene or the genes from the other families (姑姑's Husband sides? My hubby's elder Sister's hubby side?
NT and nasal bone are detected and within normal range. Gynae told me is because of my maternal age sometimes this really worry us
i am in the borderline risk & was told the same thing by my gynae. my husband & i choose not to go for further test, waiting to go for the 20 weeks scan next week. hoping for the best!
have faith Jojo! do keep us updated.
Yes, I didn't want to go for all those tests, very stressful. But my hubby insisted. Anyway what's your age group? Hope everything is fine with the baby.
