So confused with AFP
Can someone explain the difference between the bloodwork I get along with the NT scan and the AFP at 16 weeks? I thought I was already tested for risk of downs at my scan? So confused.

The afp is the 2nd round of tests for the nt scan and blood is what I was told. Some things can't be seen at 12w so that's why there are more blood tests at 16.
