A member asked:
Currently 16 weeks pregnant... did a first trimester downs syndrome screening test came back with intermediate risk, is the next step nipt or amnio?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Discuss with Ur doc: The NIPT is done on blood drawn from mothers system and poses no risks to the baby. It is accurate and can be a safer alternative to the small but real risks of an amnio. The availability of either & time needed to get results can vary with location. Talk with your docs about the local issues.
