Prenatal Tests

Hi fellow mummies, i would like to ask for your views on first trimester screenings and non invasive prenatal tests (NIPT) to test for genetic disorders or risk of pre-eclampsia. I’m 8 weeks and currently contemplating if I should get these tests done. The prices of these tests range from $400-1200 each, no small amount😔 I’m in a dilemma if the tests would be worth as regardless, I will not choose abortion.

I think NIPT is a better option. Even if you do not plan to abort no matter what, it would be good to be mentally prepared should there be some issues with the baby (TOUCHWOOD!!!) as it tests for quite a number of chromosomal disorders and has an accuracy rate of around 99%. If money is an issue, all the more you’ll need the time to be financially prepared as well.
