They aren't quite trained up to do the nuchal scan here so Ihad the option of having it done privately or just having the bloods at 16 weeks - I went for the later option seeing as we don't really have the £150 for the private scan!!
I think eventually everywhere will do the scan and blood test combined option as it gives you a better risk factor.
I had the bloods done with DS and had a 1:250 risk which made me high so I decided to have the amnio with him as I had to know for definate and if I come back high risk again this time I'll be having the amnio again.

What's the amnio like? Does it hurt?x

 

[ducky1502]

I wasn't told what my chances were of having a downs baby. All I got was a letter saying 'we are pleased to inform you that you are low risk'.

hi can i come over now iv had my 12 week scan today it was amazin bubs was wavin and had its hands on its head wudnt sit still so pic not amazin and iv had to take it on my fone dates r still relatively the same so thats good the pic is frontal view cause she cudnt get it to turn around lol xx let me know wat u think x

 

[mrsbling]

I wonder why nothing was mentioned for me then....perhaps they don't do it in Leeds

They dont do the NT scans here in the midlands either - so we paid for a private NT scan at 12 weeks, due to my age (spring chicken ) x

 

[ducky1502]

mrsbling my hospital (in the midlands) did NT scans. I guess every hospital is different.

Just went & had a look on my scan pic & some say 6.7cm & others say 8.3cm....I have no idea where I got 9.5cm from

The scan was at 12 weeks 5 days

[Kerrieann]

Mine measured 55mm! At 12+1 xx

 

[nikki-lou25]

They didnt write on my report measurements. They did with Aimee last time. God that sonographer was a miserable bitch!!

 

[sammiwry]

when I had my blood taken at my booking in appointment one
of the virals was to test for downs as apparantly they can detect small traces of it in your blood. She did explain how at the time but I can't remember the precise wording she used. So they then combined that blood test with the measurement taken today.

Ah I see chick - I had my bloods done at 10 weeks but midwife said they do the downs test at 15 week appt here. I dont think at my scan last week they even looked at fluid under baby's neck, sure they know what they're doing though hey perhaps it all looked normal which is why she didnt mention anything so guess no point worrying lol xx

Maybe, but I'd of thought they'd of still given you a risk rating based on the measurement :S how confusing and puzzling. Makes me really think that it should be the same thing done at every hospital.

Pebble measured 59.1mm at 12 weeks 3 days
