It is better to discuss with obstetrician treating her instead of getting bothered. However if pregnancy is of 22 weeks or more not much purpose is served by test as even if you confirm down syndrome option of termination is no more available. If at all it may help to decide at labour if option of Caesar arises for the sake of child.
