Dual Screening Test In Pregnancy- 128 Questions Answered

Hi, I'm 13wks4dys. I missed the chance to have nuchal translucency measured at my 12wk scan due to a miscommunication with the sonagrapher. I'm now being offered a quadruple blood test - is this as good? But still, faced with these screening tests I find myself freaking out about the results before we even get them. Can someone help to reassure me?
