I am 31 yo, pregnant and my triple test put me exactly at the limit for trisomy risk... the morpho ultrasound showed everything is normal, and dr advised against an amnio. Would like a 2nd opinion plz

Dr. Nemer Charafeddine Obstetrics & Gynecology
you mean 1/250 ?
triple test will give you risk percentage, as for amniocentesis, you will get the fetal karyotype, so we can check for chrom. 13 , so in tri. 13 you will have 3 nb 13 chromosomes .
on the other side, the risk of abortion post amnio is around 1 % ( 1/100).
your doctor knows best what is better for you, as he /she is seeing & examining you regularly.
