Do you all do the NT test? It's not required by the birth center and would just be more out of pocket cost for me. Anyone else opt out? I know I did it with DD but it was covered then. I did not do the NT or genetic testing last time, and will opt out again this time. I decided that I would not want to do a CV or Amnio if there were questionable results due to the miscarriage risk, and that any physical issues would show up on the Anatomy scan at 20 weeks. also I have a high deductible plan and would basically be paying out of pocket for it. For lots of people it is comforting to do the test, I feel like it would be more stressful for me to do it and have a possible result and then have to deal with the additional testing and uncertainty. Maybe it's naiive, but it is the best decision for us. This exactly. These were my reasons as well. The thought of having a questionable result made me more uncomfortable than not having the tests at all. You worded this perfectly Dramaphile.

Hey ladies! Happy weekend!
When is your due date? How far along are you? Sept 6 - 17w, 2d HOLY SHIT!!!
How big are babies? 5 inches!
Team Pink/blue/green/don't know? At least 1 boy.
Any Upcoming Appointments? Anatomy scan and MFM appt on April 18!
Symptoms: Feeling more and more movement. I look about 30 weeks pregnant. I need to participate in next week’s HDBD.
Milestones: We will deliver sometime between 35 and 36 weeks... which means I am very close to being halfway done. That blows my mind. We need to start preparing the nursery for two babies. The big crib is going to my mom’s and we’re getting two mini cribs. We also have to figure out the stroller situation.
