NT Scan tomorrow. I am so nervous

[animalcracker]

Hello ladies

I will be 12 weeks tomorrow and I am getting my NT scan at 8:30am. I am terrified

Has anyone here had an NT scan? What can I expect and how soon are results available?

Thank you in advance ladies!

Hi, I know what you mean about being scared. You just don't know what to expect.
I had mine just after 12 weeks and the sonographer told me the Nuchal fold measurement there and then. I then had my bloods taken after my scan and got the results about 2 weeks later. I understood that I would have been called within a couple of days of the test if there was a problem.
I am not too sure how they do things in the states, but I hope this helps?

Thank you so much for this! I hope I am as lucky and get told the fold measurement tomorrow, too.

Hi ya

I also was told the measurements at the scan (1.1mm and 1.4mm) and had the bloods taken then was told I would be telephoned if high risk. I couldnt wait so left it a week and called them - they told me over the phone I was 1:3700 and 1:4500 - i got the letter a week or so later

Good luck!!! When I had it done in my first pregnancy, they told me the measurements on the spot as well!

Best of luck to you! I know how nervous you are - it really is a scary thing! They should give you your scan results right there. Two things to ask 1) can you see the nasal bone? Is it present? and 2) what is the fluid measurement.

They'll take your bloods also and ask some family history and you should get your results in about a week.

Good luck!! Let us know how you make out!
