Did you test for Downs?

I had my first mw appointment today and she explained at the first scan we have the option to test for Downs. If it comes back high risk then testing becomes quite invasive. She said if we would have the baby with Downs then that would be a potential reason not to test. She also said some people just "feel" low risk or don't want the invasive analysis.

What did everyone here do? Did you test for it or not? X

I had the harmony (results came back clear last week)
I was far more worried about Edwards and patau and would have tfmr with them. Less sure what we'd have done if downs were diagnosed. We're both over 40 with ageing parents and this is our first and most likely only child.
