Don't take this the wrong way, but I thought this was something that was always known beforehand

I'm not going to answer the question, because I'm not 100% and don't want to be wrong. However, there is a lot of testing done. My wife is pregnant and the first appointment we had was with a genetic specialist. It's done by a few different things and uses an algorithm. This was done by a family history, blood tests, and ultrasounds.

Our chances was very very low, but it can always be wrong. Just like some of these tests can be positive and be wrong. We have two healthy kids already, so there shouldn't be issues.

I give respect to OP because there are a lot of families out there that don't take care of these kids properly and dump them in homes. Wife used to work in group homes years ago, and it's so sad to see family members never coming to see them. We used to take a few of her residents out to eat on the weekends to get them out and about.
