What can i do after finding out at that my baby might have down syndrome?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Definitive testing: If any screening places you at higher risks there are several more specific (& expensive) definitive tests. One called NIPS takes maternal blood after 10 wks & finds fetal cells which can be studied for DS or other issues. An amniocentesis takes fetal cells from the amniotic fluid around 16 wks for similar testing. If confirmed you can move forward with the knowledge as you decide.
