I don't remember any blood work then. I had some at my first appointment at 9 1/2 weeks, and then I had my glucose checked at 25 weeks. But I don't remember any at 16 weeks.

I didn't have any at 16 weeks either, although I think that's when I could have had the quad screen done. Maybe at your dr's that is considered routine?

that could be it. What Katelyn said. I didn't do that one done either.

It screens for a few diffent things, one of them being Down's Syndrome. You can do a search on BabyCenter.com to find out more about it.

I felt like a pin cushion by the time I delivered my son...
