    I was told by my ob that I can get the harmony test if I want, however he said that cause of my age there is like a 1 in 500 chance and he left it up to me, for €450 I’m toying if I should or not? I was told I’m really low risk, so I think I’ll take my chances but I’ve a nagging feeling I should? Can I get it after my 20 weeks scan? I got a scan at 14weeks due to needing anti D and everything looked great and normal then.
    So confused

    It's totally up to you really. I think you can get it at at any stage of your pregnancy. You get a scan at it too. Plus you can find out the sex through the blood test if that was something you wanted to do.

    It's supposed to be done before a certain number of weeks AFAIK.
