    That's a bit late isn't it? I thought you had to have the nuchal translucency by 13 weeks and 3 days? Maybe call up and ask?

    I'm not having downs screaning either. We didn't with dd as we wouldn't have an amnio so for us there's no point.

    i will just hold out i think, im very impatient and it qwould be nice to break the news to the whole world and feel sound in my mind that baby is ok but the weeks will soon dissapear, cant believe im nearly 10 weeks now image

    same here renee and the screening is a 50 percent chance of spotting it or something so if you had the amnio you could be putting pregnancy at risk for no reason...i myself couldnt get an abortion if they found downs on my child, ive looked after the most amazing people of which have had downs and the world would be a cold empty place without their pure kindness innocence and love. although maybe its different if their is a strong history of it in a family...i dunno, midwife looked at me like i was mad when i said no, but i just said i would love baby however it comes out

    I'm not getting my scan until 5th july - i'll be 13+1 by then! I was really annoyed when the letter came thru, have calmed down now tho.



    I thought it was so late because i'd opted screening but maybe not x

    think it depends on where you live aswell butterflies, where i live hospitals are few and far between and we only have one that does proper hospital things so must be quite a heavy load

    I think so - we have three hospitals in the surrounding area but my midwife

    Said she has a large caseload of pg women at the minute x
