i refused to have these test, as if the baby had downs i would still have had the baby, he/she would have been loved no matter what the out come.

Don't get option of nuchal scan here only bloods. If had option of scan may have had it done, then considered bloods. Didn't have triple test as if came back high risk wouldn't have done amnio as would have kept aby anyway. In some ways nice to be prepared but couldn't cope with stress of worrying.

My hospital won't book you in for the nuchal scan until 13weeks and I was booked in at 13w6d right on the nail. And they moved me forward so I couldn't have it

I had the bloods done last week and was told if I don't hear by monday 18th consider all ok.

I'm glad I had the option of both as I know I wouldn't have been able to cope with a downs baby.

I opted to have the triple test which came back low risk but we weren't offered the nuchal scan here. I think it's pretty new up here and they would probably just have offered it to older mums

Hi
The nuchal fold test costs £80-100 and the triple test costs £18-23 so considering both tests are only guidelines I can see why they dont offer the Nuchal fold test as freely.

I know the frustration believe me and have been throught the hell of an amnio but I had a clear consise result from this and not having a maybe maybe not result that i would have from the other tests.

i didn't have the blood test and i dont think i had the scan either. Unless they do the measurement during the normal dating scan?

I didn't have the bloods cause I wouldn't have done anything about it if there showed a risk or not.
