I'm Currently Feeling: 


It really depends on what you want to do. For the triple testing they do a blood test first which gives you a ratio of your chances of having a baby born with downs syndrome and other neural defects. They also may do a scan (ultrasound). If they have any questions on the results they will than perform an amniocenthesis. It really is a personal choice, for us my husband and I turned down the testing because it would not have made any difference what the outcome was--we would keep the baby no matter what. But some women do like the security of knowing that their baby is healthy. It really is a decision you and your other half have to make, look into it, research it, ask questions to your OB's office or even to the women's clinic you mentioned.
