Hi MaybelIT, you may want to discuss with Hubby? My hubby decided for me as well, he comment he prefer 100% accuracy, he said if 1stly we didn't took OSCAR test, we would choose Harmony>>don't need scared risk or more false positive from OSCAR but H don't include cardiac and full detailed scan..It's like WTH.. Also i'm 30yrs old so higher risk than u thus i chose Amnio. Was told by forum member KKH subsidy Harmony test cost $800(not sure cash or medisave); my Amnio after subsidy cost $500(90% medisave).
>>So if i'm you, i would choose Harmony since 1)1st child is fine & 2)when myself is 25 YO and 3)family members perfectly no medical history, 4)few hundred different if under subsidy. It's like 3 supporting positive factor for going Harmony test which don't mind 97-99% accuracy.
I see myself not valid from factor1-3 so i chose Amnio Test. Be sure no housework and heavy lifting within 5 days, hopefully risk is low minimal .
Another belief is about believe in fate when the Angel is safe by our side. ;]
Bring my suggestion as a friend, not medical term & discuss with ur hubby.
We keep in touch the results here. Pardon for being lengthy..
