Hello..I had this test and found out my baby had pateu syndrome 😔 The heartbeat stopped at around 14wks 😔 I'll always remember my sweet baby..I wish I had the chance to meet you❤ But God gave me another gift..I'm now 15wks and had this test again and it came back negative 🙏 baby is doing great..I'm gonna keep praying that baby is super healthy ❤

I love how they switch from their doctors outfits to their regular clothes/parents to be depending on the perspective or information they are sharing

Had our cell free analysis drawn today! Got to see baby jumping around during ultrasound for the first time. After our first pregnancy ending in miscarriage, baby's jumping around meant the world to me

My baby was diagnosed with T21 at birth. He’s almost 1 now and hasn’t had any of the health problems always listed with a T21 diagnosis. He hasn’t even had a sniffle 💪

Thank you so much for this info! I've been feeling like my ob is rushing through this info and they're such big words, it was all so hard to follow. This broke it down really clearly for me 💜🙏

My early screening came up with "Turner's " syndrome. I then did amnio and baby was negative! for Turner's.

Your video is so informative, and I love how you break it down for a better understanding. Thanks doctors🙏❤

Thank you for doing all these videos! Hearing all this ans getting it broken down makes it so much easier to understand and at least for me has helped calm the anxiety! 6 weeks pregnant getting confirmed in 3 weeks cross your fingers guys!

Fantastic information. This helps with what questions to bring up with my OB GYN this coming week. Thank you

Y’all are so easy to watch! Still obsessed with the cartoon.

If my baby showed increase risk I would still learn about the disorder. But it would not change my choice of having my baby she will still be loved.

I am 10 weeks today thank you for all the information

In case it helps anyone having twins, I recommend getting your cell free DNA test through Natera or Harmony and not Labcorp (in the USA). The tests measure something called fetal fraction, which is the percentage of dna in the sample coming from the fetus as opposed to the mother. There is a minimal fetal fraction of something around 4% in order for the test to be meaningful. If you are having twins (dizygotic) it is possible (although rare) that one twin contributes more dna than the other. Labcorp deals with this by doubling the minimum fetal fraction required for a passing test. Natera and Harmony both measure the fetal fraction of each twin. Doubling the minimum, while helpful doesn't give you as much information. I got the Labcorp test (hospital contract with Labcorp?) and I struggled to get details about the test in addition to terrible customer service (no call backs, voicemail full). Fortunately, a genetic counselor at Yale New Haven Health helped us schedule a Natera test, which we will pay for out of pocket.

I’m 27 weeks with my first baby girl, I went into my first very appointment until 20 weeks, shortly after I had the genetic screening

I got this test done a few days ago and I was just wondering how accurate the test is to tell you the gender? . I know when we find out I'm going to want to buy things so I just want to make sure. This is the first time I'm getting this test done and it will be baby #3!

Thank you for this video! There are very informative. I like to hear it from you as a mom and dad to be and also are doctors.

That intro was phenomenal 😄😄

Thank you for this explanation!

I'm taking the test in a few weeks

Really informative and the plain English approach to your videos are really helpful. If there are already incidences of down syndrome in one side of the couples family, is there a way in medicine currently to test the 'potential risks' for the couple to conceive a child with chromosomal abnormalities prior to conceiving based on parents own genetic makeup?

Information on these screening tests is confusing. For example, the NIPT that I took at 12 weeks is considered a screening test - not diagnostic, yet the accuracy is 99%? I kept going back with the genetic counselor on this because my test came back positive for trisomy21 at 76.1%. So to my understanding it means 76.1% chance of a true positive. But the genetic counselor was certain that the positive result was accurate for trisomy 21 and made it sound like it was a for sure thing, yet kept assuring us that it's just a screening test, and our risk increased because our NT scan came back at 3.2mm which is higher than average so now we're doing an amniocentesis in a couple of weeks for some definitive answers. How can something be used for screening also be accurate at the same time? The way doctors use these tests make no sense... honestly. I have a friend who screened 90% for trisomy21 and her amniocentesis came back negative! Why risk the uncertainty when there are diagnostic tests that can give tangible answers vs the "unknown"? If I had to do this all over again, I would have skipped the NIPT genetic test and requested a CVS or amniocentesis to get real answers right away. Now I'm playing the waiting game. I've been reading case studies, forums, support groups and what these genetic tests do is cause more confusion and anxiety, so what's the real benefit?

Are these screenings and tests covered by insurance? How much are they without insurance?

Really helpful thank you. My gynae mentioned the blood test at week 10 and we weren’t sure what to do. I definitely will go ahead…. Costs £600 in UAE

I have Treacher Collins Syndrome and in my 8th weeks of pregnancy. There’s a 50% chance my baby will get it and I’m sooooo nervous to know whether my baby will have it or not. Either way it goes , of course I’ll love my baby the same. Just know it’s makes life kind of difficult but not impossible.

Really awesome to hear about the blood test option as ultrasounds are harmful

I’m 39 yrs old, my partner is 44. I’m currently 12 wks 2 days pregnant. My provider did Maternit21 when I was 10 wks 3 days gestation and I was told the baby tested positive for trisomy 21 and I haven’t been given any further information or plan going forward. I’m devastated.

Very timely information thank you so much!

Was the sneak peek accurate?

What is your opinion on genetic testing with an IVF pregnancy where the embryo tested euploid?

We did a sneak peak, and it was correct. Did yours end up being correct?

Is there a reason why doctors prefer to have the NIPT done until week 16?

More offices should conduct fetal rhesus testing for Rh- moms as well. To better determine if Rhogham is something to consider or not. Since there is a history of women being infected with hepatitis in Ireland. (It’s in the scientific literature. They didn’t know until decades later) The packaging stated there is a risk the shot may be contaminated. They deactivate viruses they know about. So moms and providers can make an informed decision. Many countries test, but seems to be more difficult here in the USA

Hello what is the name of the test again

Hello doctors ! I’m going into my 12th week and my hubby and I decided to opt out of genetic testing because I have bad anxiety and if we found something bad I’d be a nervous reck the entire pregnancy. I’m I putting the baby in harms way for choosing to not do the testing ? Are there any abnormalities that can be caught early and fixed in the womb ?

Hey my test results came back positive for t21 but my ultrasound sound had 0 marks for Down’s syndrome, is anyone going through the same thing ?

Sorry on my daughters account we had high Michal translucency but our blood test came back negative for everything. After the ultrasounds went good until week 24 the doc came in and said single blood vessel in umbilical cord and a small nose bone so they think downs. Baby is very none photogenic and they got a quick side profile picture, what has me confused is fetus had prominent paw bone in other ultra sounds. So confusing and heart wrenching.

Hi Doctors, can you discuss receiving a non-conclusive result on a cell free blood exam? Specifically for twins.

Thanks this is informative.. My Dr didn’t tell me much but just wrote the order for genetic test.. so u cant have it done til 10 weeks? Thank you

What’s the difference between horizon and panorama genetic testing vs California state’s genetic testing? I am confused on which one to take.

Can genetic testing detect multiples? I had an ultrasound and it showed 1, however my genetic screening shows three fetuses!

As professionals with a platform and such a large following as yours, I'm disappointed that you didn't spend much if any time stressing the point that there is no right or wrong choice regarding continuing or not continuing a pregnancy, upon diagnosis of a serious chromosomal abnormality. Thousands of people make the difficult choice not to continue pregnancies due to these diagnoses every day, and it's disappointing that you stated that it wouldn't change the outcome for you, and left it at that.

My nt value is 4 mm by one doctor one doctor said 2.2 cord around neck and mild trivial intermittent tr what is the risk .. I am waiting for my nipt result

My clinic at city fertility Notting hill failed to tell me I had chromosomes abnormalities in May 2022 when I had completed the test then . They told me 8 months later in 2023 that I had it only because I was transferring to another IVF clinic as I was unhappy with the service /nurse . They told me after an embryo transfer in November and a miscarriage in December. I lost the baby at 6.5 weeks They refused to refund me . They literally said they missed my results and had “ assume” I was ok .

Hello, I had an OB appointment but I don’t know what is that for and what to expect or the going to do ultrasound on the OB appointment?? Please explain me more

How long does it take to get the results of these tests? Same day as the doctors appointment or a few days later?

Can you please tell if cell free dna testing can determine whether your baby has sickle cell disorder?

What week does my obgyn does all the test

What do you guys think of the sneak peek test how much fetal dna is in a mothers blood at only 6 weeks

Hello doctors. What about twins ? Is the NIP test more accurate even though everything came out low risk? Verses quad screen

Amazing video. Thank you

Thanks for the info. Going crazy here waiting for the results during week 12. Two doctors already said it's probably a boy, after believing since the beginning it's a girl. Just hopping it's healthy.

I go to the dr on the last day of my 9th week wil they go ahead and test me or make me wait until next appt

Could you share the citation for the chromosomal abnormalities table you showed at around 5:30 in the video? Also when it comes to the sex chromosomal abnormalities are there others that are simply less common? I know there are many many disorders beyond those listed, so my question are those included or it is just looking at the 5 listed?

I’m so confused on genetic testing , fragil x and nipt ? Are they all the same ? My genetic testing came back low risk but I’m wondering if I need to ask to do a fragil x and nipt test too ?

What is the difference between Myriad Prequel screen and the Integrated Test? I received pamphlets for these 2 tests but they seem to test for the same things so I’m not sure what the differences are.

Our 1st prenatal genetic screening: nucheal trans ultrasound looked good (2), but the bloodwork came back saying high risk of 1 out 90. Dr is sending me for the NIPT test. Now I'm worried...looking for reassurance...🙏

thank you so much! such great info!!

I love the into ... so cute !!

I did a pregnancy test and it was positive and I went to see doctor and he give me a prescription prenat and now I have an OB appointment and I don’t know what exactly is for. Are they gonna do the ultrasound or there is anything else please explain to me more what to expect in that appointment

Hello my baby boy was born last year and at birth he was diagnosed with t21. I’m currently pregnant again and did NIPT twice and it came back negative both x. I’m just wondering if I should rely on the NIPT n not do Amnio. I’m a little scare of amnio but I don’t know.

What is a unity test today I had my 12 week check up and they told me I was going to get labs done and I was going to get unity lab work done I asked him what that was and they said it’s for genetics I’m still confused 😐

Taking a sample with a long needle in the placenta?? Does that harm the baby??

Which is the best test to do? Me and my husband we both are carriers of Beta thalassemia, and I'm 4 weeks pregnant. Any suggestions please 🙏

What does it mean to have the specimen sent to a state test for testing ? really concern please answer

are all these tests covered by insurance???

My nipt test say consistent with a female fetus.in the paper they say Y chromosomes accuracy > 99.9%. can someone explain what that means.

Hello, I recently got my results from my Alpha Fetoprotein Pregnancy test and it came out positive for Down syndrome. When I was early on I had NIPS genetic test done and it came out negative on Down syndrome. Which test is more accurate?

WHY IS THERE A LOUD THUNDER STORM NOISE!?! THAT WAS A TERRIBLE SHOCK THROUGH MY HEADPHONES

Thank you so much for the video, Doctors! I have a question; Can something happen to chromosomal composition between week 10 and 15? I tested low risk on NIPT 1:10,000 *fetal fraction 7.1% at 10 weeks . However, quad test showed high risk Trisomy 21 (1:118) and Trisomy 18 (1:68). 20 week’s anatomy scan is normal. NT was never done. I just want to know if something could go wrong during pregnancy between week 10 and 15? When do the chromosomes stop the arrangement? *Im not trying to get a medical advice. Just trying to collect more info. Thank you very much!

What NIPT would you recommend for obese women as I know the fetal fraction might be lower in these patients. Your response would be greatly appreciated

You can find out the gender in the genetic testing appointment

Is Cell free DNA test the same as what they call NIPT?

Please I need help, where can new couple to be do genotype test in UAE(Dubai) ??

Can you please tell me what Abnormal Chromosomal And Genetic Finding On Antenatal Screening Of Mother means? Please

Love you guys!

Are there any risks to mom for receiving these genetic screening/test

My OB is so booked out she does not even see her patients until 15 weeks GST. There are only 3 providers in the practice, and none offered these tests due to lack of resources.

Hi, i am getting tested but i am not pregnant yet, i wanted to know if i had any risks to transmit anything to my baby, will the results be good ?

I have had 3 miscarriages...and I am now pregnant for the fourth time..I had each miscarriages around 15 weeks...all of them is for the same guy...what do u suggest? Am very worried...please reply.

Hi, I had the cell free DNA testing or panorama test around week 12 and it came back negative or low risk for all genetic defects. Now I’m in week 20 and my midwife ordered me another test the mss to detect spina bifida ( she let me know ahead of time that this test also includes testing for Down syndrome, which comes back with a lot of false positives. Mine did come back as high tick for Down syndrome but I didn’t think much of it because she warned me ahead of time) one week later after getting the results, I got a call that they need to speak with me. Now I’m very worried… would you be able to tell me what you think about this…

Can this test helps an As parents to dictate if the embryo is a sickler or not

[Academic curiosity] According to the video, 1 in 150 live births have a genetic abnormality. So, 1 in 150 in the population in USA have a genetic abnormality assuming the chance has not changed much in the last 100 years. Seems very high unless most of the abnormalities do not show a major effect.

If I chose not to do the cell free DNA test would the 20 week ultrasound tell if the baby has any chromosomal abnormalities?

Thank you for this very informative video!

Nipt test redrawn no test result 😭😭😭😭😭

Does this mean the NIPT during week 10 is the only screening test I’ll have, assuming results come back normal? No further screening tests?

My NIPT result came 1/117 chance for Down syndrome and I should do amniocentesis! Please let me know how much this test is correct? Do I have any hope?

I was told my baby tested positive but with less than one percent chance of Down syndrome and I’m scheduled for more tests. I’m scared.

Can you touch on false positives?

My obgyn hasn’t done a single test on me not even urinalysis or bloodwork Nd I’m 13 weeks now Is this normal?

Me and ma boyfriend are 25&32 yrs old, non of us have heard any history of down syndrome in the family history. But we are mixed mixed match, African-European. I got one question I really need help with, Is there high chance for the mixed couple to have a baby with complications?? I'm 7 weeks pregnant now, so stressed up about the test issues, I can't really stop thinking about what the outcome will be,. I will really appreciate if I get any help on this 😊

Can the results for fibrosis mutation 97 test show what races are in the baby's DNA?

Invitro blastocyst stage testing can be done to allow parents to not only know at that stage about many genetic miscodes, but also gender. Parents can select which gender blastocyst is implanted. Designer babies with specific eye and hair color are probably already being born to parents who can afford the high cost of a designer baby.

Sir please tell me about the test in which how I recognised the sex of foetus in mother's womb

hlo dr...i had done my anomaly scan on 20 weeks of gestation...my baby NT IS 5.1mm and nasal bone length is 6mm.it is normal?after that i had dine NIPT on 21 weeks and result is low risk...plz tell me dr it is normal for my growing baby....iam soo worried 😢

You guys are so cute ☺️)))
