At 9 weeks I did the panorama genetic test which costed almost 1000$ it included pretty much every genetic disease u could imagine ( trisomy, desgiorges, triploidy etc). Then i did a battery of prenatal blood tests that screened me for every possible disease u could fathom including a full anemia profile, complete blood count and every known vitamin count in the human body. Then at 12 weeks my OB wanted to do NT measurements but because baby wasn't cooperating my OB told me to come back tomorrow at almost 16 weeks to try again. Although he said it doesn't really matter because I did the panorama it basically ruled out Down syndrome. So now I was told tomorrow I'm doing another blood test which is now testing for spinal bifida!!!! He said it's another routine test done at 16 weeks. Wtf?! It seems a bit much! And to be frank I'm fed up of all the damn blood tests!! When does it end? I'm low risk, 32 years old and so far so good. Does anyone else's dr screen them up the wazoo? I don't remember doing this many tests with my dd2. It seems every time I go in there's another test that needs to be done. And then the glucose at 28 weeks.... Argh. When does it end? Oh and now my dr said it's a new law and everyone gets a swab a month before they deliver to test for chlamydia and gonorrhoea lol cmon! This is silly now...constant testing for this or that...
