GRRRRRRR It makes me so angry when people dismiss you because you are young. What the hell would a receptionist know anyway. I was barely 28 when I lost my baby at 18 weeks to triploidy, not exactly young but not advanced maternal age either.

Here is my view...if you would consider termination if the baby had a chromosomal abnormality, including downs, trisomy 13/18 etc then pay for the NT scan. If you wouldn't terminate, don't get it done and wait for your 20 weeks scan where they will look for soft markers.

Good luck with it all
