Chances of a healthy baby are very high. Please get the triple marker test done after 3 weeks. If it shows high risk then the patient should go for NIPT.

Do NIPT test ,if still inconclusive AMNIOCENTESIS required. Risk of 1 in725,is actually not an indication for further Evaluation.

You may need NIPT or Amniocentesis so you will get confirmatory results as these tests are more sensitive.. Get counselling from genetics consultant

Better to go for NIPT. NIPT is still a screening test but it has a very high sensitivity. If it's negative u could be assured that baby is not affected. One baby out of 725 will have downs syndrome according to reports

Nipt is also a screening test
Confirmatory test is amniocentesis.
In all circumstances whatever the risk maybe, chances of having a healthy baby are always higher . So let her undergo confirmatory testing by amniocentesis.
