"The Prenatal Screening Program provides pregnant women with a risk assessment for open neural tube defects (NTD), abdominal wall defects (AWD), down syndrome (trisomy 21), trisomy 18 and SLOS (Smith-Lemli-Opitz Syndrome) through blood tests and Nuchal Translucency (NT) ultrasound."
Patrick and I have NOT announced the pregnancy yet, but today, I had my first blood test drawn for prenatal testing and Rosalie (my supervisor) was at Kaiser with me to take care of some blood test her doctor ordered for her. I tried so hard and wished that she didn't see the paperwork I had with me and luckily she just assumed I was just doing a blood test for my blood sugar level. Wheeeeww!
