My doctor explained that Down syndrome is a chromosomal disorder (Trisomy 21). The NT ultrasound and Double Marker test in the first trimester, or Quadruple Marker in the second, are only screening tests to check the risk probability. If those show high risk, only then diagnostic tests like amniocentesis are done to confirm.

Hey, don't stress too much about it! Talk to your husband about vasectomy—it is way easier than a tubectomy for us women. Just have a chat with a good doctor together.

Imagine the double cravings you'll get, haha! Usually, they can see twins during the dating ultrasound around 7 to 8 weeks when they hear the heartbeats. Double the baby means double the street food cravings later!

I totally understand how stressful the waiting period is, your heart must be racing! Try to wait till at least 1 or 2 days after your missed period to get the most accurate result. Sending you so much love and positive vibes!

My pregnancy tracker app explained this so well! Station measures where the baby's head is relative to your pelvic bones, ranging from -5 (high up) to 0 (fully engaged) and then +5 (ready for delivery). It is a great way to track labor progress!
