Integrated screening: tests for Down Syndrome & other disorders include 1st trimester Fetal UltraSound & maternal blood test for specific pregnancy-related proteins & a 2nd-trimester blood test for 4 pregnancy-related substances, the levels of which are interpreted for gestational age. Your OB may get another FUS & blood test, cell-free fetal DNA, so you can decide if you want a diagnostic test of fetal chromosomes.
