yes. i didnt know it had initials.
or a different name. the doctor mentioned the usual blood test but then there was an intergrated test which is in two parts.
and that i had the choice.

Ultra Screen??? its done at 12 weeks and its a sono and blood test but I thought tht was only for downs.

Probably the AFP done at 16 weeks tests for downs, spina bifida and trisomy 18
