@shaninex97, oh that’s not right, I’d ring and ask if they’ve made an error because they’re 2 different scans hun xx
Shanine Vickers ·
@courtniek98x what they for hun x
Courtnie·
That’s my letter for 12 week scan I got x
Courtnie·
@shaninex97, and that’s the 20 week scan letter xx
Courtnie·
12 week scan will be to measure baby and give you a correct due date and if you consent will be to test for downs and Edwards syndrome. 20 week is to check measurements and make sure fluid ect is all normal and if you want to they will tell you sex xx

@courtniek98x The Midwife Was Talking About the testing for downs and everything so maybe it's a separate appointment for that x
Courtnie·
@shaninex97, the second one says clinic, have you consented to downs/Edwards screening?xx
Shanine Vickers ·
@courtniek98x yes x
Courtnie·
@shaninex97, that might be what the second letter is for because it does say clinic hun but I would ring just to make sure xx
Shanine Vickers ·
@courtniek98x isn't that were they check for downs syndrome and things x
Courtnie·
@shaninex97, yes hun they’ll take your blood and send it off x
Shanine Vickers ·
@courtniek98x Maybe. I'll ring up thanks hun x
Shanine Vickers ·
@courtniek98x The Midwife gave me this to give to the scan people
Shanine Vickers ·
Courtnie·
@shaninex97, yeah you give that in before your scan it just confirms you want downs screening performed xx
Shanine Vickers ·

Sounds like the first one is a scan and the second one is just an appointment with a doctor, probably to discuss what was seen on the scan. Could it be to give bloods? I got one letter for the scan and they took blood straight after. Did they say if there is an elevated chance of the baby having a genetic condition? Where I live they would usually give the appointment with a doctor only to those whose scan was not ok, but they only offer you one after the scan, they don't sent a letter in advance. Must be just to take your blood!
Shanine Vickers ·
@kate_smith no they didn't say anything like that xx
