There was mention to us of a test for Down's during the early stages of pregnancy.
We never considered it or even heard of it, but it cropped up in discussion with the nurse who was dealing with us. "What would you do if the test indicated Down's?".
I don't actually know what the options would have been? I'm guessing abortion was one option, but never realised it was legal?
As I say, we never considered the test so we'd have carried on with the pregnancy regardless anyway.
Yep. They look for markers, like thickness at the back of the neck and amount of amniotic fluid, add in the age of the mother and give you an odds of it being. Then you have options for further tests (with risk of miscarriage) if chances are high or getting rid if it comes back as confirmed.
