NIPT in third trimester?

[Sammi427]

Has anyone ever done the NIPT testing in the third trimester? I’m 30 weeks and my first and second trimester screen came back 1 in 7800 for downs which I thought was good, then an Echogenic intracardiac focus was found on her heart. I was told not to worry and an isolated finding is not likely to be a sign of DS but I would like to do the NIPT for a better idea.

I did it during the 1st trimester but you can do it at any time.

As you’re past termination limit, it’s a bit expensive to do at this point. With the good odds you got + this is not strongly associated with DS , I think you’re good, I’d trust the doctors that it’s a benign finding.
