Confusion about Taking NIPT Test

2022-03-05 08:47:05
I am 16 weeks pregnant. I recently got my Quadruple test report. Although everything seems at low risk, my doctor suggested NIPT. I'm confused should I go for it or take a second opinion from other doctor as the test is too expensive. Down's Syndrome: 1:575 Edward's Syndrome: 1:85434 Patau: 1:17861 Neutral Tube: MSAFP - 1.01 MoM Please suggest.
