NT Scan
Is anyone doing this screening? I didn’t do it in my last pregnancy and told my doctor at 7 weeks when I saw him over my blood pressure I didn’t want it again. Saw a nurse practitioner today for what was originally scheduled as my ob intake (been told I’m too complicated and have to only schedule with the doctors from here forward haha). So anyway I hadn’t met her before and were talking about a lot of stuff. My blood pressure, my experience having to use insulin with gestational diabetes during my first pregnancy, talking about my hives etc. She starts trying to explain to me which test I’ll have done. Lots of fetal heart monitoring growth scans etc telling me I’ll have to travel out of town to civilian doctor for my ultrasounds because of the extensive monitoring they want. I had a lot with my daughter so I thought I was following everything. Fast forward been there almost a hour and half at this point at the end of my exam and she’s telling me what I need to do. Schedule appointment with doctor in a week, go to the pharmacy, come back see the nurse, go to the lab. I ask what labwork I’m having done today and she said serum testing for the NT scan. I told her I hadn’t planned on getting it and she was like oh I already put in the order. So we very briefly talked about it and I decided fine she put in the order I’m here I’ll do it. Reading about it tonight has me so worried. I don’t know that I want to know the results. I’m half way considering not scheduling the scan but I have to go anyway for the heart stuff. What’s your experience been with the NT scan and the results. Would you recommend it?
