I'm in OH and a SAHM dabbling in strategic leadership for non-profits so my brain doesn't go to mush. I used to do innovation and brand strategy work before my kids came along.

And hai lycih

Ah!  Hi!!  Glad to see you lady!

USCgirl sorry for the delay...not sure how I missed your question. Honestly it comes down to your level of concern/anxiety and if the small (1/300-500) risk of miscarriage is worth it to have a nearly 100% answer. I would say most people who are low risk (ie you!) tend to do some form of serum screening first before moving to invasive testing. First trimester or integrated (1st and 2nd tri bloodwork with an nt scan) are the most common and usually covered by insurance. Noninvasive prenatal screening (harmony, panorama, materniT21) are all often offered, but aren't recommended for low risk women as a first line screen.

Hope that helps!! Please let me know if there are other questions!
