I'm worried that i have not been informed that i have to have a NT Scan. I have had two earlier Ultrasounds (One at 6wks and another at 8wks) due to a scare and then booked in for my first Antenatel after those. My first Antenatel app. will be at 13 weeks 1 day.
Was this something that i should of been made aware of from my Local GP or is it one of those things i am presumed to already know?!!!
Im really worried that i wont be able to 'book in' for the appropriate tests in time!
Jess,
i'd call your GP and request him to give you referrals for both the blood test and scan (if you wish to have the screening done). at my first OB appointment, my OB had referrals waiting for me for my 10-week blood tests, 12-week NT scan, and 19-week anatomical scan...
i'm a private patient so am out of pocket for all my appointments & scans, but i've read somewhere in another thread that 12-week NT scans aren't automatically covered by medicare for those patients who are using the public system... i'm not sure whether this affects (or bothers) you or not, but something to be aware of.
