How many of you opt to have NT scan?

Last time I posted I hadn't had it with DD1 and since then I also declined with DD2. Only had the morphology scan with both.

I had it with all three of my babies. I am a worrier and I liked the reassurance the test gave me. I understand that for some women the results create unnecessary worry, but for us the risk of DS was low and achieved the goal of putting my mind at ease. I don't think I would terminate a baby with DS, but I guess you just don't know until faced with that situation.

I read several replies where PP's said that they 'just wanted to see my baby again'. When I was pg with DS (my second child) I had the the morphology scan at 21 weeks. Like so many other women, I rocked up to the scan just wanting to see my baby and hoping to find out the gender. I was utterly floored when we were told (after a completely normal scan at 12 weeks) that DS had gross renal abnormalities and was 'incompatible with life'. We were advised to terminate as it was an 'unviable pg'. I will never forget the feeling of falling, falling, falling as the doctor spoke those words. The whole world shifted on its axis. We decided to continue the pg, being emotionally unable to terminate at that stage of pg and perhaps in denial that this could be happening. DS is now 7 and, although he does have renal problems, he is a happy, healthy, completely normal little man. I was not so naive when walking into the scans for DD2 - in fact, I was petrified! I wonder what it was like for our grandmother's without access to all this technology - more stressful or less?
