I'm confused - the literature I was given and the NHS website both suggest that I'd be sent an Edward's and a Patau's risk as well as a Down's risk after my 12 week scan/blood test - but I was just sent my Down's risk.
Brought it up with the midwife at my 16 week check-up and she didn't seem to know what I was talking about (I'd forgotten the specific names, so was just referring to "more rare but more serious genetic conditions than Down's").
Can anyone shed any light? - do they not test for these conditions in some parts of the country? I'm in London.
