Hi Krystle
If you want to get it done get a referral for your local public hospital. You will still have to pay but its only about $150 and you get half of the money back from Medicare.

I am only 25 and there has been no down syndrome in my partners or my families but I wanted to be prepared if my risk was high and a VERY BIG BONUS is that you will get to see that gorgeous baby of yours! I know it was one of the best moments of my life!
Whatever you decide it is your decision and I know that not all women do get it done.
The blood test is included in that price as well and is done on the same day or near to the day that the scan is done. Good Luck with your decision.
