Then there is an invasive test that will let you know 100%. Problem is, that test can kill the fetus. And you could find out that the fetus you just killed during the test did not have DS.......

Ahh, that might be the one to which I was referring. Amniocentesis, and it is usually done at 14-16 weeks.

Actually, there is a test called CVS that can be done earlier but has a substantially higher rate of infant mortality, so I guess it depends which route the parents go.
