Hi Guys,

Just wondering about this scan, I don't think I am going to have it done because:
(a) Just found it it will cost be around $300; and
(b) Ifthe results weren't good, I don't think I would go ahead with the further testing anyway - have heard that there is a high risk of miscarriage.

But on the other hand, I would want to know if something was wrong so that I could be prepared.

So I am just wondering, is there anything else crucial that they would normally do at this scan that I would be missing out on, or is it simply to detect down syndrome?

I will have the standard 18/20 week scan.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks!
