Re the real testing, a friend of mine was told that one of her test numbers was so high, that she had to be carrying multiples, and that all of them had spina bifida. Being pro-life, there was no question of what she’d do (some in-laws saw it differently) and she delivered one perfect little girl. I wouldn’t even bother having those tests, unless it was something that could be corrected pre-birth.BTTT. Anyone thinking that those tests are worthy anything needs to read your comment.

Anyone thinking that those tests are worth anything needs to read your comment. The value depends on the specific test and what it shows. The blood test for spina bifida was notable for false positives - my doctor in the late 90s told me not to bother with it - but there are other diagnostic tools now that are more accurate. Surgery can be done for infants with spina bifida in the womb, in some cases, so it is worth pursuing if more than one indicator points in that direction.
