Im 36 years old, pregnant 15weeks now , this is pregnancy after 9years . When i was 12 weeks done my first ultrasound and my doctor seen my NT 2.6 with nasal bone and no sign triscupid. He suggest to do NIPT . I did and the result is high risk for Down syndrome. 😢 😢😢 Just yesterday i did amniocentesis, praying for good result... I need prayers for my baby boy
I hope that every thing went well for you , it has been found 2.2 NT and 1/230 risk of down syndrome I have conducted NIPT test and I am waiting for the results ,
This was great! Will you be doing one about the diagnostic tests (CVS and amniocentesis)? Would love to know more about those, pros & cons, how to pick one over the other, etc.
Without family hx, I didn't initially opt for these tests with my firstborn, but bi-lateral pleural effusion discovered during a third trimester scan did ultimately take me there to r/o downs, etc. We are lucky to have such a wide array of tests available to pregnant mamas.
To my fellow Canadians, the NIPT test is covered under our healthcare if you meet certain criteria. I am 40 and found out i meet the age criteria. Many physicians are not aware of this. I had to inform my family doctor to fill out a specifoc requisition from the prenatal screening of Ontario website.
Very informative video. Today I received results from my cfDNA test and I was curious on how accurate is the fetus gender prediction. I am also waiting for the results from CVS test because we both are SMA silent carriers. Thank you!
I will be 5months next week. I took a blood test to check the gender and i have a couple abnormalities on my screening. They want me to meet a genetic counselor and im terrified. This would be my first kid at 33. Im so scared ive been crying all day. I cant wait 3days to get more info😭
Maybe she was asking if doing any of these tests can be dangerous or cause any risk to her or her baby? The NIPT is just drawing a little bit of blood from the arm, so no risk at all… ultrasounds also have no risks, of course… amniocentesis has risks and they’re always informed to the patients
I just turned 40 and had a miscarriage last week 🥺 it was my 1st pregnancy and took 6 months to conceive. I hope to be blessed to conceieve again soon 🌈🙏 all the best 💜 Also, in Canada the NIPT test is covered under our healthcare if you meet certain criteria. Age is one of them (40 and older). Not many physicians are aware. They need to fill out a special requisition that can be found on the prenatal screening of Ontario website.
@@MissSmurfey hi Sarah I am so sorry for your loss. My husband and I had a miscarriage Nov12 of this year and it’s totally debilitating but each day we are healing with one another and taking it a day at a time sometimes seconds at a time. Good luck to you on your journey
Still until now I have not gotten a CLEAR answer to what can tell you the gender of the baby!!???? you just indicate a general comments, what does tell you it is male or female?? I am a details and root-cause kind of person,,, what do you see and say "oh it is a boy because ,,,,,,,'
Pro Life Is Not Anti-Choice. Choices always involve sacrifice of some sort. Abortion requires the sacrifice of life while pro-life options require a sacrifice of self. Although it’s often difficult, the sacrifice of self allows life to flourish. Abstinence, adoption, responsibility and sex education all offer ways to increase life rather than take it away. What will you choose today?

This video was incredibly helpful!! It was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so for providing this great information! 💕

Loved all the shout-outs to genetic counselors, great and informative video, thank you!

How did the testing go? I’m 31 and got abnormalities on my screening. Haven’t had testing but I’m scared.
Hello 👋 Is it dangerous or at risk ❓️ Be I am 46 and it's my first baby, the appointment is for next week.
Def high risk

Got my results in and I have no idea how to read it and my doctor sucks at calling back. Can you help?
Is doing both an NIPT and Nuchal Translucency counterproductive since they have differing levels of reliability? I'm not sure I understood that point.
The NT can add data about anomalies not related to genetic abnormalities so is definitely ok to do both and some doctors do recommend that
@@dr.martaperez thanks so much for the quick reply!
What lab companies will give you the cash price discount?
I had my second baby at 36y/o we did not have any abnormalities should we take it again we are trying again now and I’m 40.

The cell free DNA test is looking directly at the chromosomes so it can identify if the baby's sex chromosomes are XX (girl) or XY (boy)
It is a shame of you to still call it geriatric pregnancy

shut up, mike. unless you're the one making the sacrifice.
How about we support pregnant people and their choices, how about that sacrifice of self mike?
