I guess that for us (I was 23 at the time) we approached the NT scan as really a fun chance to see our bubs for the first time. i felt that it would be a good bonding for all of us DH included to actually see that gorgeous heart and limbs and head moving around in there. really the nuchal test was just the sideshow to the glorious moment of seeing our little baby. I will do it again with other pg no doubt.

it was nerve racking having to get the results a few days later, no one wants to be told that there may be something wrong with bubs, but like the others have said, i also wanted to know so that i could start to think about what our options were and how far we would be prepared to go for testing. i know that i will go for further testing if the results were high risk, but again, that's a truly personal decision.

p.s. we stuck the ultrasound piccies on the fridge so that everytime we went into the kitchen we could see our baby! lovely!
