Yes I took the NIPT test and it was spot on for me. I was relieved to know everything with baby was OK. I'm an older mom so I had some concerns about that. I liked knowing the sex of baby so early too 😊

I did one with my first pregnancy and was told I had an increased chance of my baby having T18. We chose to not do it for our second pregnancy as it caused me far too much stress in my first pregnancy personally and brought up some ptsd with loosing my daughter. I do know there are definitely cases of false positives/negatives but I will say in combination with the NT scan it is quite accurate and if it is going to change how you proceed with your pregnancy it is easier earlier on than later. If you’re unsure and there is a positive, you have the option to do a cvs/amnio to diagnose if they do think there is an abnormality. It’s all based on perspective and what your plans are if they do show a positive result. I will say though they are quite accurate with some exceptions

mine is in 2 weeks in excited :)

I had it my most recent baby due to my age (36 at time of pregnancy). Everything was fine - def was a stressful time due to the waiting game. Stay positive - don’t stress what we can’t control.
