Hey ladies, I'm after some advice. My gp referred me to have my 12 week NT scan done at my local radiology place. She said they'll do the analysis there and inform me of the results straight away, as long as I do the blood test a week in advance and have the BT results sent straight to the radiology place.
Sounded super.
HOWEVER,
at my first antenatal appointment at the hospital the midwife said that the BT should be done around the same day of the scan to ensure greater accuracy, and definitely NOT a week before. So I called the radiology place and they said they've never heard of that rule before and that "the BT results don't really change after week 9 in that regard".
Soo... Now i'm utterly confused. Should I do what the midwife in the hospital said? If so, will I need a new referral? My current one says " 12week NT scan and COUNSELLING" can I just go in for the scan without the counselling? Also on the BT referral it says to send the results to the radiology, but if I do the BT on the day of the scan the results should be send to the hospital, as the radiology won't be doing the analysis. Can I just ask the BT people to send it to the hospital or will I need to get the referral changed?
Sorry it's long and complicated. I'm really lost and confused and I need help
