Im 11 weeks and a bit anxious about this. My gynac mentioned some screening tests but I didn't fully understand. What all tests are done to check for down syndrome? Pls explain ur experience.
Just keep a positive mind and pray for baby's health, dear. The doctors will suggest the NT scan and double marker test around the 12th week, so trust the process and stay calm.
I was so incredibly anxious about this! They usually do an NT scan and Double Marker blood test around week 11-13, and if you want more accuracy, there is NIPT too, so talk to your doctor to ease your mind.
Don't worry too much, these are just routine screenings. Your doctor will schedule an NT ultrasound and a double marker blood test between 11 to 13 weeks, which are very simple and standard.
According to the timelines on my pregnancy tracker, the double marker test and NT scan are done between weeks 11 and 13. NIPT is another advanced option you can ask your doctor about for high accuracy.
I'm still learning about all this as we try to conceive, but my gynac mentioned that standard blood tests and scans are done early in the second trimester to check baby's health.
