NT scan, did you get one?
I didn't with Cassidy. I didn't want any extra testing back then. Not that I'm worried about anything, but it would be nice to see this little one again... Is this a stupid reason? Help me decide!
Re: NT scan, did you get one?
I did. I almost decided not to, just because it wouldn't change anything, just give us an indication if something was wrong. I'm really glad I did and got to see the baby again. It was so different from the u/s I had at 8 weeks. I'd just make sure your insurance pays for it so it's not a big added expense.
I did not with Ben but I did with Madeleine b/c I had been so sick (bronchitis, antibiotics, etc.) since I had gotten pregnant that I wanted to be sure all was ok. Otherwise I wouldn't have done it.
I did do the quad screen blood test with Ben at 16 weeks and would have done that with Madeleine if I hadn't had the NT Scan.

My blog: Dodging Acorns
It took 5 failed IUIs and a failed IVF, but our FET worked!
My pregnancy after Infertility Blog
Our baby girl was born on April 27, 2011!
I did. I figured why not see the babe
My dr said to do it, and if I didn't want to know the results, he wouldn't tell me. It was up to me. But he knew after my m/c's that it would just be a piece of mind.
Yes, only because it is completely non-invasive, you get to see the babe again, and better to know and be prepared, just in case there is an issue.
Having to have the extra blood work is the one down side, I am not a needle fan!
I did with both girls. I wanted to be prepared for whatever might happen and to see Jordan again. Since I did it with Jordan, I did it with Norah. I'm very glad I did b/c it did find a problem and I was able to prepare myself and get further testing done. I feel that I am/was far more prepared for Norah to have problems than I would have been if I'd just found out at 32w or birth. **Everything looked clear at 19 & 24w f/u's, it was a growth u/s at 31w that found a heart issue.
This is exactly our thoughts and why we did not do it.
