quad screen

At my appointment on Friday my doctor told me I want to get the quad screen done. So what I'm wondering how many of you got the quad screen done and how many would recommend it?

Is that the downs test? I had one done. All they did was take some blood from me, then send it off somewhere. Mine all came back normal, but I hear it gets a lot of false positives. They only took my blood, so I figured why not.
