my wife just had a blood test (spectrum maybe?) that we paid an extra $100 for because insurance doesn't cover it that told her 2 1/2 months into her pregnancy whether the baby had Downs, etc etc all kinds of issues and the GENDER. its amazing what they can do with bloodwork these days.


I'm pretty sure that a routine test. It doesn't tell you for sure just gives you all kinds of odds like 1:400 downs, etc.

it sounds like it..first kid in 13 years for me..but apparently still 'too new' for insurance

it sounds like its about to be approved so i might be able to get a refund on the $100.

and yes, it definitely is still an 'odds game' but all the issues they said it tests for were like 99% accurate.
