Well that is one of the tests that make women nervous.I work in a laboratory and I have women coming in on a daily basis to have that test done. When they ask me, I tell them that this test is done so commonly now that she really shouldn't worry.It is more of a precaution, and with those little bundles of joy you always think of them first. I believe that everything will be fine and I wish you both all the best.

I'm assuming you are talking about Down Syndrome in a unborn child?
I'm 38 and I have always refused and will continue to turn down the screening for Down Syndrome. I have the stage 2 ultra sound to detect heart defects that may be corrected in the womb, but no ailments or deformities that I can't do anything about. Will she abort a baby with Down? If not, then why go through the agony of a testing? Maybe you want to prepare for a Down baby if that's the case, but what will you do? Any thing you do will come later in the child's development. And like the other person mentioned previously, most women screened come back with a clean bill of health for their babies. Now.... that doesn't mean you won't have a baby with Down Syndrome. It can still happen. There is also the chance that a positive test is wrong. I knew a mom that got a positive screening and through further ultra sounds they discovered it was a false positive. She wishes that she had never done the screening because she was so destraught until they found out for sure.
If she wants the test, then just hug her often and tell her that you love her. Tell her to try and not fret about something she can't control. If you are people of Faith, pray for some peace of mind.
Babies are gifts no matter their physical condition.

I would research more about the specific blood test that she will be getting, so that you will be informed about it. When your wife ask you about the test you will be able to answer her questions, or you can bring it up saying that you did research and tell her what you found out. If you are calm and don't worry then your wife will be. Remember she is scared and you need to be her rock, she will take her cues from you. I hope everything turns out okay for you and your wife and have a healthy baby.

I would rub her back and have her take a walk. Just let her tell you what she needs to say and get her into do the test ASAP. Nothing can calm her down but her. I hated having to get test like that when I was pregnant. My husband was great but no real help. I hope everything comes out OK.

i somewhat don't recognize what's incorrect with this unwell society. each thing is so "children oriented" that all and distinctive over 30 is assume to purely be in for all the maladies of the international! the position they should be (in congress) has not something yet previous geezers who cant imagine instantly no more suitable! My brothers female friend on the time replaced into pregnant which includes his first, her 0.33 newborn and as the final practitioner advised her because of your age "37" you are able to have a downs toddler. The fool went and had an abortion! It replaced right into a boy. the subsequent time my brother gave her an ultimatum that if she does that lower back he's leaving, she went via the being pregnant and presented a healthful toddler female. are you able to imagine that? i am hoping that time-honored practitioner will pay even as God receives a carry of him. in case you do not have a courting with God, you've not something. My pastor went via "checks" and replaced into advised her toddler replaced into going to have spinal bofia or something undesirable. Her and her husband prayed and requested for Gods therapeutic. She presented a regular, healthful newborn. that child even as he finally all started walking it replaced into throughout. He replaced into in each thing. with slightly of success you get correct up with a Pentecostal, church of God in Christ church that you need to lift the newborn interior the admonishment of the Lord.

Hold her hand. That really helps me. We had a high risk pregnancy. When I miscarried, what helped me the most was knowing that my husband was right there with me the whole time. Don't worry. It's really cliche, but babies really are a gift, no matter what the packaging, that's your baby. Good luck.
