Downs test
What were your numbers (if you can remember) from the finger prick test? Wondering if I should be concerned. Was told it is not accurate with twins. Both babies had a 1in over 300 chance according to the test. Is this concerning? They referred me to genetic counseling because of my age (37)

Re: Downs test
I had no idea they even did that screening for twins. I have triplets and my ob said they don't bother doing it as they have no way of knowing which embryo had which output and therefore the results were meaningless (or whatever). From what i recall Those sound like good numbers for 37 years old tho! Try not to stress. These tests have such a low yield and yet all they do is torment us. One of my triplets had a hugely thick Nuchal measurement, and he was fine! Good luck.
