Thank you not that am happy on this stupid one time mistake...but I feel more at ease.
This is the test just making sure..please advice?
Noninvasive Prenatal Diagnosis
This new blood test, also called cell-free DNA testing, is used to show whether you are at risk for having a baby with chromosome problems. Because it's done by using a sample of your blood, it's less invasive than amniocentesis or CVS.
