    $300 seems a bit much!!!!!! Is there anywhere else you could go??
    The NT scan isn't necessary if you don't want to know your risk for Downs, everything else they can do at the 20wk scan

    i only had the scan done so i could see my bub. I didnt care what the re****s were. I know i didnt pay $300 thats for sure! come to think of it... i didnt even pay $1.. i had both the bloods and scan done and didnt pay a cent.

    its up to you whether u want it done. Its only a decision YOU can make.

    Hi Krystle
    If you want to get it done get a referral for your local public hospital. You will still have to pay but its only about $150 and you get half of the money back from Medicare.

    I am only 25 and there has been no down syndrome in my partners or my families but I wanted to be prepared if my risk was high and a VERY BIG BONUS is that you will get to see that gorgeous baby of yours! I know it was one of the best moments of my life!
    Whatever you decide it is your decision and I know that not all women do get it done.
    The blood test is included in that price as well and is done on the same day or near to the day that the scan is done. Good Luck with your decision.
