NT scan with Double marker

2019-08-18 02:53:04
Hi, My wife is 12 weeks pregnant and everything is normal in her blood report(thyroid, sugar, hemoglobin etc..). Doctor has asked to go for NT scan along with Double Marker(optional). They said double marker will cost you (4000rs). I need your suggestions, Is Double Marker really required as everything is normal in her blood report??

If nt scan is OK then no need to go for double or quad marker test. It's a wastage of money.
