A member asked:
Preg is it important to do the ultrasound where they check for down sy and other prob or can that be done blood work? my app w gyno is in 2 weeks

Both are best: Ultrasound can detect about half of fetal anomalies before 12 weeks. Adding the blood tests can improve that significantly. While you are younger than patients who would routinely be offered amniocentesis, it is important to know that more downs babies are conceived to women below 35 yrs old than over 35 years old.
