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

I'm 33 years old this year. Hubby and I agree to do OSCAR for an assurance throughout the pregnancy, and we though 33 years old, doing OSCAR should be good enough. But 1 week after the OSCAR test, I had my scariest and most miserable 8 days in my life. We were told that the OSCAR test isn't a good result as I am a High Risk. Therefore, I did the Paronama test and waited for 8 days and glad that the Paronama came back with Low Risk result.
