We had a dating scan. I didn't want the NT measurement as such, and didn't have the bloodtest - I believe I am low risk for DS and have heard lots of stories about getting inaccurate results anyway.
But I had a sense that I wanted to know if bubs was ok otherwise (i.e. healthy heart beat, all arms and legs etc!), so we had a 'dating' scan and I was reassured to see that in all other respects baby looked healthy.
I wasnt exactly asked if I wanted the scan done or not, I just had it. It was very reassuring to see that bubs was actually in there, as there was no way I could feel movements at that stage. I was 13 weeks when I had mine and the BT came back extremely good (I am quite young aswell).
It is a personal choice, but if your going to stress about it throughout your pregnancy then I suggest you get it done. If it turns out you may have a high risk result, you can always sit back and look at your options, and get more information about it all.
It is really amazing to see just how much they change aswell! From my 6 week dating scan til the NT scan, it went from looking like a round little bubble to a tiny human!
Good luck with what ever decision you make and hope you have a H&H pregnancy!
