Hello everyone,
When I was pregnant with DD (now age 3), I was 31 and was told that there was a 1:149 risk of her having Down's syndrome. Turns out that she didn't, and I refused any invasive testing and tried to focus on enjoying my pregnancy.
I'm 12 weeks now and my first scan is due on Wednesday and I immediately said no to the nuchal as I don't want to be worried sick when it may not be necessary, and my DH agrees but now I'm wondering if I should change my mind? Anyone else not bother with the nuchal scan?
Also do AFP blood tests reveal anything other than possibility for DS?
