Prenatal Tests

Hi fellow mummies, i would like to ask for your views on first trimester screenings and non invasive prenatal tests (NIPT) to test for genetic disorders or risk of pre-eclampsia. I’m 8 weeks and currently contemplating if I should get these tests done. The prices of these tests range from $400-1200 each, no small amount😔 I’m in a dilemma if the tests would be worth as regardless, I will not choose abortion.

Personally, me and hubby were contemplating hard on this. Similarly, we did not want to go for abortion no matter what happens. We then decided not to go for NIPT nor Oscar as our baby's FTS was normal and gynae said low risk. So we used the money for maternity insurance instead. Gave birth exactly a week ago to a healthy baby boy 😊Your partner's insights may be helpful too so do discuss! Don't go through the dilemma alone. All the best!
