Blood test at 12 weeks, what is it for? I'm confused


Had my 12 week scan on Monday, it was all fine and today the blood test, what actually are they testing for at this stage? I think i know that this is the test that will mean if i have to have an amnio or not, is this right? I am a bit confused really and was wondering if anyone can help me out.

Thanks ladies

If the test was linked with the scan then it is a Nuchal translucency test which when combined with test measurements will give you a 1 in ?? result for genetic problems such as downs
