Oscar or NIPT?

Understand from my gynae that there are 2 options to choose or can perform these 2 options for Down syndrome. Should I go for Oscar, NIPT or both? Thanks! #firsttimemom #advicepls

I'm doing NIPT. frankly my husband can afford and he says better just be super duper sure to give baby the best chance in life. but ultimately is up to you and your partner and Dr recommendation. I don't think there's a need for both? My Dr framed it as an either or or even neither for us. she didn't mention any need for both so I'm not sure

There are a few variables to consider: 1. Age - the older you are, the better to do nipt. 2. Cost - Nipt is much more expensive than Oscar 3. Results - heard Nipt is more accurate in terms of testing than oscar

Good to do both. Just did my NIPT blood test, it is more accurate than Oscar. Doc told me no need to do Oscar blood test but still need to do the scan
