How many of you opt to have NT scan?

Obviously my age makes it more of a concern that for most. This time around my age alone gave me a 1 in 67 chance. After bloods and the ultrasound, that came down to a 1:1300 risk. Very relieved. I only wish they could do the test at 6 weeks, not at 12 weeks!

im just wondering why you'd want the test earlier?

Just because it's really nerve-wracking to have to wait 12 weeks to get the all-clear especially at my age when you've read for years how high risk older women are.

We decided not to bother with NT scan as we knew we wouldn't terminate no matter what, plus I was only 22 so was very low risk.

With next bub we wont be getting the NT scan either.

We're getting one done on Monday, and the only reason is to see our baby and hear it's heartbeat again! Silly I know. We wouldn't terminate even if it came back that our baby will have Down syndrome, to me life is sacred!

I never had the NF test done, or the blood tests, with any pregnancy. With the twins I also declined the 12 week dating scan so I didn't find out it was twins until 21 weeks when they finally persuaded me to have an anomaly scan
