I'm concerned because I missed my double marker test but I did manage to get my NT scan right at the start of my 14th week. Are the results from this NT scan accurate at 14 weeks? My doctor mentioned doing the Triple Marker test at 16 weeks, but I'm wondering if the Triple Marker test is better than the Quadruple Marker test. I'm 35 now and really don't want to take any risks when it comes to my baby. Could you help me figure out the best steps to take from here?

The NT scan is a risk assessment tool, not a diagnostic test. It can't tell for sure if a baby has a problem, so another test is needed to confirm a diagnosis.The quadruple marker test is generally more sensitive than the triple marker test, and is recommended for women who are at higher risk of chromosomal abnormalities

We have to go for an abortion today with a good gynecologist. I'm really looking for some solid advice on how to care for my wife after the procedure. How soon might she recover? What should we focus on regarding her diet? I'm a bit worried and would appreciate your guidance on this.

To support your wife's recovery after abortion, ensure she rests for 1-2 days, avoids heavy liftingstrenuous activities for 1-2 weeks, takes pain relievers as prescribed, and follows a balanced diet rich in iron, protein, and whole foods; also, encourage her to stay hydrated, avoid sexual intercourse for 1-2 weeks, and schedule a follow-up appointment with the gynecologist
