Congrats.

We had a boy, too. He's 9 months now and the coolest person I know.

What is the rate of false positives?


I only found this because of this article, so I don't have that information.

I don't actually. I've only worked in the hospital on the pediatric floor or AFTER a baby has been born so that isn't labwork I would know more about. Sorry



Whenever I do get pregnant I will likely be strongly encouraged by my doctor to do all kinds of prenatal testing. Because of my age though...my insurance will likely cover all of it.
