Down syndrome test.

Hi mummies! I'm 25 years old and currently 7 weeks pregnant with our first child. Did my scan ytd and doctor suggested me to go for down syndrome's test for baby which is scheduled in April 2021. May i know if this test is even needed? How many of you actually went through it? Please advice, thank you!

If u are under pvt den yes each visit will just be a normal scan.. unless they schedule you for detailed scan or growth scan den tht will be a much more thorough scan..a Downsyndrome scan is more like to give u an early heads up so u can decide fr yr next step.. if u have already decided that no matter what you will keep your baby, den u cn skip the test. All the best!
