That was my NT scan pic, I was 12 weeks 1 day
My eyes ran it all together and I only saw 2 L's this whole time anyway! ha ha I'm glad that everything is okay and I hope it remains that way!
I am furious at how you were treated in the ER!! That is just...despicable. Except the ultrasound tech. She sounds lovely and it was sweet of her to help you
My son was born at an overseas military hospital so I understand some of the issues you're going through :/ . I was forced into a csection because they wouldn't deliver a breech baby. Are there any doulas on base? I'd recommend getting in touch with one of them, even this early. They work very closely with the hospital and can help you even before birth with education and advocacy (and body alignment issues so being pregnant is less painful). But when I had my baby, I didn't really know anyone and didn't reach out to the people I did know. They've since become my friends and I know that if I'd reached out in the beginning, they would have helped me.
Oh
It depends on your doctor. I did not get the test during my first pregnancy. I was not "high risk" and neither was my DH. We had had other early ultrasounds, so the doctor did not deem this one necessary.
If we had gotten it done, the genetic counselor felt we may have seen indications of issues to come. It would not have changed the outcome, but we would have had some warning.
My doctor didn't seemed too concerned about doing it this time either, since technically we are still not high risk. I asked for it and he obliged without any argument or comments that I shouldn't need it.
