    I have heard the risk is greater when the woman is older. I had the nuchal translucency test at 13 weeks and my risk was 1:7500...but my girlfriend had her test and it was 1:45 so she opted for the amnio test after that. I always wondered, what happens if it does come back with DS? Can you terminate at 13 weeks anyway? I didn't even think of that when I was pregnant but I wonder now!
