I am 10 weeks pregnant. Had my first ultrasound on 29 Oct which showed I am 9 weeks 4 days. Visited my doc the same day. She gave prescription and said to visit again after a month but has not asked for any blood tests. Is it ok?

If done between 10 and 13 weeks pregnant, the blood test and ultrasound scan together will detect around 90% of babies affected with Down syndrome. If the blood test is done between 15 and 20 weeks it will identify about 75% of babies with Down syndrome.

Usually between 11 and 14 weeks blood test and scan will be done to rule out Down syndrome in the baby. It is a genetic test which is done routinely nowadays irrespective of the family history or not. Please contact your doctor and get it scheduled.
