My husband and I have been asked by our midwife whether we would like the test where they measure the fluid in the baby's neck and the blood test at 12 weeks. I'm really confused about whether to have this. The midwife said I am considered low risk as I'm 29 and she weighed and measured me etc. My husband really does want us to have the test. I am concerned because I've read that early vaginal bleeding can affect your Down's syndrome test result! I bled for about 1 week when I was around 4 weeks. I had a scan at 5 and then 6 weeks and both showed a heartbeat. Just so confused and not sure what to do about this test! Any advice would be very much appreciated!
