Down Syndrome screening

I am currently at week 8 of my pregnancy and need to decide whether want to do Down Syndrome screening during the next gynae appt. I am 30 years old. Understand that below 35 consider low risk, and some mummies will not opt for the screening. Still not sure whether I want to do it? If yes, should I go for Oscar or other more precise and expensive one? Need some advices from those who have gone through this stage. #1stimemom #advicepls #pregnancy

Personally i went for nipt straight because it has higher accuracy. Both husband and i wasnt keen to do oscar because of the low accuracy. As the difference between the basic n comprehensive test for nipt was about 300$ diff, husband decided to do the comprehensive one. Btw i took igene and am with private gynae :)
