NT scan with twins?

Question

Has anyone had theirs yet?  I am about to have my scan next week, I did the blood work today, I know they do one each trimester right?  Are the results accurate for twins?  What are you experiences with this?

Answer

They did mine about 1.5 weeks ago. Baby A was very cooperative and they got all the pics and measurements they needed. Baby B was not, he? stayed in one position, didn't flip over and didn't stretch out much. This baby had always been less active. They were able to get a few good shots of B that seemed normal. (Apparently if it's abnormal it's super obvious.) the typical blood work they run did give me a 1/71 risk for Down's. But later I got my MaterniT21 DNA test (which is more reliable) back and it was totally normal. I'm sure you will do great!! Good luck and try not to stress!!!

Not to scare you bc it definitely isn't common, but my scan wasn't totally normal. The only thing that was wrong is they mentioned that there might be a problem with their umbilical cords and they are also concerned about placenta insufficiency. She said usually she wouldn't have mentioned it so early (would have waited for 15-18w scan to verify) but she knew I was super anxious and wanted all info asap. So it's not confirmed yet, I'm getting another scan in 1.5 weeks (15w) to see for sure. The potential placenta problems might also be part of the reason the Down's risk came back high. (Sometimes can indicate Down's, sometimes can indicate placenta problems). Ps I'm 35, so that alters my results too, and is also why I could get the DNA test.
