Should I NIPT?

I totally understand the anxiety, 1:43 is stressful to sit with, but please know you're not alone! My friend went through almost the exact same thing, her FTS came back high risk and her doctor at KKH recommended she do NIPT next, and she said it gave her so much more clarity than just waiting and worrying, turns out her NIPT came back low risk and she could finally breathe. Someone in my mum WhatsApp group mentioned that KKH actually had a discount package last time if you needed both the FTS and NIPT done, so worth asking the counter about that. I also know a mummy whose NIPT came back high risk after her FTS, and even then she said she was grateful she knew early so she could prepare and make informed decisions rather than be shocked later, so the test really helps either way, whether result good or not so good. Honestly lah, I think the hardest part is the waiting and not knowing, and NIPT at least gives you a much higher accuracy than FTS alone. That said, every situation is different, so please do have a proper chat with your gynae or a specialist who knows your full history before deciding, they can really walk you through what makes most sense for you.

If it were me, I would do the NIPT for extra reassurance. I had an abnormal screening result before and the waiting was more stressful than the test itself. NIPT isn’t diagnostic, but it’s more accurate than FTS and gave me more peace of mind while waiting for further advice from my gynae. ❤️
