Genetic Testing
Has anyone done the genetic testing and not been given an ultrasound along with it? Like seemingly not even the option for one?
I have an appointment on 12/6 for my 12 weeks check and I am going to do the genetic testing, super impatient so I wanna know what we are having🤣. Anyways I scheduled it with one receptionist and confirmed it was going to be the full genetic testing, bloodwork/ultrasound, etc. and she said absolutely. Well I forgot to ask if I needed to do anything specific to prepare for this ultrasound because my first one I was told to pee before I came in but ended up needing a full bladder bc they did an abdominal us...the second receptionist seems overly confused why I was asking about an ultrasound when they only did 2 per pregnancy, 1 to confirm (which I had done somewhere else and transferred to this office) and one between 18-20 weeks. I was going to have one at 12 weeks with the last place along with the genetic testing just to confirm baby was growing as it should be, etc. She said that I could talk to the Dr about it on Tues but wasn't sure it would make a difference.
I've had a few 10-13w miscarriages in the past and always had an ultrasound scheduled for 12 weeks...really bugs me.
I've had zero signs or symptoms with this pregnancy, which already has me constantly having to wonder if I'm even still pregnant, because my first mc was a missed mc at 10 weeks and I didn't know until 12.5w at my appointment.
Can I request an ultrasound based on that or the genetic testing aspect? If insurance will pay, and they will, I don't see the problem in doing one to at least check everything out...
