Getting ready for my NT scan this week/and YOU?

oli · 10-11-2009, 11:11 AM

Good morning, girls!

With my daughter, I was due on December 25th, so I was at the end of the list for my due date club, but not this time around. Being due on May 2nd, I am leading the way....

My NT scan and all the blood work is coming up on Tuesday. Needless to say it is a huge milestone and I am getting nervous hoping everything goes well.
It will be the second time we'll see our munchkin. It will be 5 weeks since we saw that flickering heartbeat, so I am excited to see the little acrobat this time around. I will update you on Tuesday after the appointment.

Is anyone else going in this week for a check up?

I go in on Tuesday for another ultrasound! I have had several miscarriages and my doctor wants to keep a close eye on me, so I am lucky enough to have weekly ultrasounds

Makes me so nervous each week though!

I am quite a bit behind you, though. Will be 7 weeks 3 days for this ultrasound. Good luck to you!

I'm going to my 1st OB appointment Tues

Yep, my NT is on Thursday! I can't wait either, it seems like forever since my last appt.

Yay Oli!! Can't wait to hear how it goes

I have to wait til Oct 26th for mine. I will be 12 weeks 3 days. I wish it was a week earlier

Let us know how it goes!!! Good Luck!

Hey Oli...My due date is May 1 and our appointment for NT is on Oct 26th. It's nice that someone is going before me so that I can know what to expect before I get there. Definitely update about how the appointment goes when you get the chance.

Dawson- my doc always pushes to do NT as early as possible because the window is so narrow. Just in case, there will a need for other testing. How is your nausea? I hope you are doing better!

Is the NT done via outside the body??

SmilingIrishIs · 10-12-2009, 11:24 AM

My NT is on October 28th. I have an appointment this Wed (10/14), however, to see if the pregnancy is viable (I'll be 11 weeks exactly on Wednesday). I'm hoping for the best, but prepared for the worst.

Hello Everyone! I have my NT scan this Thursday the 15th. I"m slightly nervous about it. So far all my u/s have been great and the RE said that alot of the times they can tell as early as 9 weeks that something is "not right". He's reassured me that I shouldn't be overly concerned about the scan so I'm keeping a Positive Mental Attitude! easier said than done.... LOL!
