Most NHS hospitals have started offering the NT scans now. St Michaels and Southmead should be offering them in the next month or so.

Shouldnt all hospitals do the NT scan already,i had one with my first child and that was 12yrs ago?

In bristol atm you can only have one privately. They will always offer you the blood test though.

i was told i couldn't have the trip test without the NT scan

how the hell the downs test effect the results of spina bifida is beyond me

 

[tannembaum]

What's a trip test?

 

[missmayhem]

blood test that screens for downs, spina bifida and some other thing............ it will come to me later i bet

The triple test is for spina bifida and other neural defects as well as downs syndrome,maybe you have to have them together if you want the to have the triple? I know you can have the NT scan on its own, but maybe because a blood test is more invasive test thats why you might have to have the NT as part of it?

 

[missmayhem]

they wouldn't give me the SB test without the NT scan so i told them i'd rather not know and deal with it if the baby did have SB which in my case is a rather high chance

 

[lynnikins]

why not have the scan but just tell them during the scan to not do the measurements ? its what i did lol

You do realise that they check the spine for signs of SB on a Nuchal scan dont you? Unless that shows any worries they dont even offer the triple at my hospital.

 

[missmayhem]

i declined the NT test as i was told it was for downs...... not really regretting it to be honest as either way i'd keep the baby....

just wish i had been better informed that all
