At 16 weeks i was offered the quad test to check for downs syndrome and spinal biffida. At first i booked for it then changed my mind at the last minute... now im regretting it. I just thought at the time that there was no way i'd want further testing as it could result in miscarraige so there was no point, also im only 21 so my chances of having a healthy baby are quite good anyway. Ive since had my anomally scan and everything seemed fine but now i cant help but wonder should i have had the test to prepare myself in case theres something not right? Maybe its just because of recent articles ive read about and hearing about somebody who recently terminated a downs baby, i dont know...am i just having pregnancy paranioa with all these hormones flying about the place? has anybody else turned down the tests or feel similar to this? Any thoughts would be much appreciated thanks x

Iya han21, l also turned this test down because I know if there was anything wrong I wouldnt have had a termination, and also even if they say there is a high risk of something being wrong its not 100% and could cause a lot of unnessecary stress over a baby that is perfectly healthy, I wouldnt worry too much chances are your baby will be fine x

thanks jo jo i just don't want to stress myselft out too much.. glad u felt the same as i did.I like the pic of ur 4d scan by the way...they're amazing. do u know what your having?

Yes im having a girl im 37+1 now she is due on 26th April I cant wait, when r u due? Do you know what ur having? x

im also having a girl im not due until the 11th of july ive got ages!!! its taking so long plus i feel huge already!!! its doesnt seem right that ive got another 3 months to go x
i bet ur excited though not long to go now !!

I cant wait, I just hope she will be early but I think she'll be late, the next 3 months will fly by its flew for me since christmas just try an keep busy x

I also turned this down (although in my case it was the tripple test), I wouldn't have had amnio or abortion no matter what the result and if it came back showing an increased risk I would have just worried more. I decided that in this case ignorance was bliss.

i didnt have any of the tests, i would have the bubba no matter what . if there is a serious problem they can pick it up on scan
