Hey Everyone!
My doctor gave me a brochure of all my screening testing options during pregnancy....I'm so confused and so is my husband I have no idea what test(s) to choose if any at all.
There are 5 options:
1) First trimester screen only
2) Quad Screen (second trimester screen only)
3) Serum integrated screen (first and second trimesters)
4) Full integrated screen (first and second trimesters)
5) Sequential screen consisting of two parts
Even after reading the brochure, I'm still lost as to what the heck the descriptions mean....has anyone had any of these screenings done, or could recommend which ones (if any) to have done? Because I'm just ready to say screw it and don't bother having any testing done because I don't understand what any of these are for especially since we're keeping the baby either way.
