NT/NB Double marker test

2026-01-08 13:55:39
Hello Doctor, I am 13 weeks 2 days pregnant. At 9 weeks, I had a TVS scan and blood and urine tests, and all reports were normal. My doctor did not advise or call me for NT/NB scan and Double Marker test during 11–13 weeks and has called me directly at 17 weeks for the next visit. Is it still safe to skip these tests? Please guide me. Thank you.
