Did you do the nuchal translucency scan?

Question

And why or why not?

Answer

Yes definitely. Wanted to see if baby was developing properly. If anything had been wrong we would have either had the opportunity to make a decision or have advance notice so we can take measures keep our baby as healthy as possible and give him or her the best chance while still in the womb. I know some people think that not getting these kind of Imaging tests says to the baby I don't care if you have a deformity I'll love you anyway. To me, it says well you may have a medical problem that we can treat in utero but I'm not going to find out so I'm taking that opportunity away.

Answer

Yes, wanted an extra ultrasound to see my little one before I had to wait for my Anatomy scan

Answer

Yes because the father talked me into it.

Answer

Yes. I was only 23, but my sister was born with a heart problem and my doctor wanted to do it. I thought it was pointless. I don't care if my child has downs.

Answer

No, it wasn't offered to my. My ob offered the harmony test instead.

Answer

What worries me most is the percentage of false positives I hear about. I suffer from severe anxiety and panic. I honestly worry that I will be miserable the remainder of my pregnancy. Not that we wouldn't be prepared or love the child. Absolutely. But I'm not the type to calmly prepare if I'm told I "might" have a baby with issues.

Answer

Yep. Wanted to be prepared if he needed special support.
