Did you have the NT scan or option of it at 11-13

Question

I just left my doctors appointment and swear on everything I was told I'm getting the scan today. I get there and they told me I don't get any other type of ultrasound until 18-20 weeks for my anatomy scan. Has anyone else's doctor just not given them the NT scan?

Answer

Usually around 12-13 weeks I would def ask

Answer

I had the NIPT blood test (genetic testing) done, so my OB didn't offer it.  However. I called my insurance company and they said they covered both procedures, so I insisted upon the scan as well.  Happy to say baby girl is healthy!  You have until 13.6 to get it done so if it is covered and you want it, don't be afraid to speak up!

Answer

Did you decline other 1st trimester screenings such as blood work?

Answer

I had it done with my son but with this pregnancy my insurance only covered a dating scan and the anatomy scan

Answer

We were advised and  chose not to have it. We're then refused an ultrasound in its place - so we refused to leave without a referral and finally saw our baby for the first time @ 16weeks because of my SO percistance. Will have another at 20 weeks to find out gender

Answer

Yes but it had to be done at the affiliated hospital and not the office because they have better machines but I declined anyway.

Answer

Yeah I'm surprised you didn't have it because there's only a small window of time where they can do it

Answer

Maybe your insurance doesn't cover it? I got one but had to go to a specialist and needed a referral.... that's been the order every time for us. My regular ob has never done it
