Book/website recommendations for 35+ tests?

Katrina Marie · 02-04-2009, 12:30 PM

I see many posts here with info in bits and pieces about 35+ testing, Downs risks, etc. but I'm having a hard time putting it all together. I'm the kind of person that needs to do gobs of research before talking with a doc about tests or making any decisions. I have several pg books from my first pregnancy with DS that are now four years old and not very specific on these topics anyway.

Can anyone recommend a website or book that has current 35+ testing info in fairly extensive detail? Thanks!

Hi KM,
I've been bcing the bb since before the birth of my last dd over 6 years ago! I really do not think there are any new thoughts out there or any changes, except maybe greater use of prog in pgs. The testing seems to be about the same with the options of CVS/ Amnio/ Nuchal fold and blood test - then the diagnostic u/s. As for current stats, I haven't seen any, but maybe someone else can point yo in the right direction.
We would love to have you posting here!
