Pregnancy screening

2018-01-17 10:28:21
Hi, I'm 13wks4dys. I missed the chance to have nuchal translucency measured at my 12wk scan due to a miscommunication with the sonagrapher. I'm now being offered a quadruple blood test - is this as good? But still, faced with these screening tests I find myself freaking out about the results before we even get them. Can someone help to reassure me? I don't want to spend my pregnancy totally freaked out.

Nuchal translucency can be done till 13 wks 6d or 84mm CRL... so i think u still might have time..
Next Steps
