My husband and I are trying to decide if we want to have the first trimester genetic screening or something like the MaterniT21 or Harmony test. We had originally decided that we would not do any of the testing, mainly because I have a history or severe anxiety and we thought awaiting the results (or finding out something is wrong) might cause panic attacks, etc. I'm reconsidering now that I'm in the zone of the testing (11-13 weeks). I'm thinking a "normal" result would calm any nerves I might have throughout the rest of the pregnancy. Hubby still thinks we should skip it.

Plus, I'm almost 36, so they ask me about it at EVERY appointment.

If you chose not to have the testing, please tell me why (and what test/s you had) and if you are happy you made that decision. I'm stressing myself out so much over deciding what to do. I've asked a few girlfriends and they all say I should have the testing. I just don't know what to do! HELP!

ETA: I forgot to mention that we would NOT terminate, regardless of the results.
