I went to my 15 week checkup today and was offered the option to take the multiple marker test. For those of you who have been pregnant before you know what this is...
After reading the paperwork on the current accuracy statistics, I decided not to have the test performed. Part of my decision was based on hating to have blood drawn (selfish), by my main reason was that I worry about the implications of a false negative or positive. Aborting is not an option for us. We will love the baby no matter what happens.
I just wondered if any others of you made the decision not to have it done, or, if those of you who had had it done had any negative or positive feedback about it.
Since my next appointment is at 19 weeks, I will still have a window of opportunity to have the test done if I change my mind so I wanted to hear opinions of other mothers (and even mothers to be).
