NT Scan...how late is too late?

[LimeSlice]

So I am almost 15 weeks...and still no NT Scan.

DH is away every second week for work, so I put it off, but couldn't get an appointment this week, and he leaves for work again today - and wont be back until next Thursday...


By which time I will be almost 16 weeks.

He really wants to be there, but I am wondering if by then it is too late to do whatever it is they have to do for it?

I was told between 11-14 weeks is the cut off. Maybe just call the scanning place and ask?

I had mine done at 20 weeks. It was supposed to be just a dating scan but when they discovered how pregnant I was they ended up doing the NT and half the morphology all at once. There didn't seem to be any issues with accuracy, well none that were expressed to me anyway.

Thanks girls.

Off to docs tomorrow so will check, but would rather wait if we can.

I've always been told between 11 and 14 (as in no time after 13wks 6 days) but what lilias said the scan place will tell you they were always quick to tell me "we will only do it between xwks and y wks, no maam you can't have it at 10wks 6 days".

Yeah, I was told 13w6d was the latest.

They might still do it after that, but it's not peak accuracy period anymore, ITMS?
