Prenatal genetic testing (or, more accurately, prenatal genetic screening) is a controversial issue for some parents and a big decision for all pregnant people. After sharing a bit of a pregnancy update (2nd trimester, maybe not as fun as it should be!), I go into the different testing options available (like the SIPS, NIPT and NT), how we decided on the right tests for us, how you can make your decision and the roller coaster we've had with testing so far. PS: I mention a few times that I'm going to look into the nuchal translucency ultrasound. Unfortunately, after doing a bit more research after I recorded, it turns out you have to be between ~10-13 weeks pregnant for this test and I'm past that.
