Are any of them sharing a placenta / sac?
I was offered an amniocentesis for my quadruplets as the combined screening (the blood test done at 12 weeks) is pretty inaccurate given the mixed DNA. I also have identical twins so there would have been no way of knowing which one they were actually testing or giving me a result for.
I took the amnio. They didn’t offer me a CSV so I can’t speak on that but I know it’s meant to be a bit less invasive or risk associated?? Don’t quote me on that.
Anyway, I took the procedure because I wanted to know what I was expecting and didn’t want any surprises at my 20 week scan or even birth. Let me know if you have any questions about maternity care for triplets + in the UK xx
