Your doctor has advised you correctly. Kindly go for a quadruple test and for a USG anomaly scan. These are non-invasive tests meant for screening and diagnosis of 99% of the genetic anomalies in foetus. In case you are still worried after they come out negative you may go for genetic testing of foetus, which would be an invasive procedure. It has risks of it's own and should be avoided. All the best for your pregnancy. May you have a healthy child.
