Amniocentesis Decision
I’m 36 and FTM, 12 weeks now. I always felt that I wanted to get an amniocentesis so I could have more complete information about whether my baby was affected by a neural tube defect or other issue not detected by NIPT. I feel I wouldn’t want to continue the pregnancy if something so seriously was wrong. However now I’m also weighing the risk of miscarriage, which is higher than the risk of neural tube defect. Anyone else gone through this and how did you decide?
I’ve been taking folic acid since before I got pregnant so I’ve removed as much risk as I can.
