I also contemplated for awhile now, as I took 2 years to conceive and now I have a fibroid in my womb. So all this scares me to just do a test to check. But however, the nurse told me if you’re really planning to keep the baby no matter what, then you don’t need to worry abt the test. I think this is individual preference. To me, I told myself to leave it to god and pray for the best.
I took the test when I had my first baby, and it costs alot. At the end of the day, what I was given was just a percentage and the risk level I’m at. Despite not taking the test, a detailed scan will be done at about 20 weeks and they will check for abnormalities as well. Like what other mummy said, if you’re keeping the baby no matter what; you should save the bucks.
