Tests offered at KKH

Hey fellow mummies, I was provided the option of these three optional tests offered at KKH: 1. Maternal Cytomegalovirus (CMV) Screening 2. Down Syndrome Screening (FTS, NIPT) 3. Pre-Eclampsia Screening As a first time mum and wanting to have that peace of mind, I opted to do all three tests. Wanted to ask, if any of the mummies here did the tests and regret the choices made cause of the results, financial, or any other aspects. And roughly would you be able to provide a rough estimate cost of these tests (Im on subsidised route). Thanks in advance!

I only went for FTS, as we knew we are doing the test not to make a decision to terminate pregnancy if there is a risk of down syndrome, but just want to be prepared should the child really be born with DS. That's why we didn't go for any other further screenings since they won't change our actions. if I rmb correctly the cost is around $400 on subsidized but I'm not sure if there's further variances on cost of FTS via means testing
