![]() I became pregnant with my first child in 2011 and, at the time, non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) wasn’t available. I am a mother to three beautiful children – two on Earth and one angel who watches over us. This screening provided the information we sought. I believe that gathering information during one’s pregnancy is important. It was easily administered, and we received the results, which came back normal, quickly. I had a wonderful experience with the Harmony test. I’ve supported friends who had false positives with other prenatal screening methods, so accuracy was important. The test would provide a more accurate result for Down syndrome than the older screening tests. NIPT seemed like such a better option than other screenings that were available to me previously. We were proactive about taking a NIPT and I chose to take the Harmony® Prenatal Test, which I learned from my research, through friends and my doctor, can be done as early as 10 weeks of pregnancy. We wanted to also be prepared if our baby faced any potential chromosomal conditions. We had experienced a miscarriage with my first pregnancy, so it was important to be armed with as much information as possible about the health of our baby. My husband and I knew from the outset I would choose to undergo a non-invasive prenatal test (NIPT). At the age of 40, I became pregnant with my second child, a boy. I am the mother of two children, a daughter and a son.
