Bloody Leicester NHS are crap, my midwife messes me around, the hospital messes me around, I wish I could afford private

Peter and I said the same thing driving home last night. We wish we could afford to go private.

Okay hun... relax... there is still time for you to do the test.
It is done between the weeks 11-14.

check out this website.

I had the IPS (integrated Prenatal Screening) testing done. Part 1 was done when I was 13w3d and Part 2 was done 18w2d.

Part 1 consists of the ultrasound and blood work.
Part 2 consists of blood work.

Basically the same test... testing for Down Syndrome, Trisomy 18 and neural tube defects.

Good luck.

I didn't get one either. I think the odds are lower when your young.

My doctor only starts to ask when you are over 28 years old. It is asked more for woman who are over 30..

I don't know why I put mandatory since it is something you can say no to lol

Gosh my preggy brain sucks

Most hospitals only offer it to women over 30/35.

Logiebear · Dec 20th, 2008, 14:43 PM

Most NHS trusts don't offer it all. My sonographer was an expert in nuchal translucency so she told me about it anyway but my nhs trust don't offer it as part of a 12 week scan. Don't worry about it xxx
