Length of NT Scan?

kja424

How long did the ultrasound portion of your NT scan take? My appt. is scheduled to start at 11:30 on Wednesday and my husband really wants to try and get out of work a little early so he can be there for it. He may be running 10 minutes late... I don't want him to worry about getting off early if the ultrasound is fairly quick and he may miss it anyways. Thanks in advance!

Mine is scheduled for 7:30 (central) on Wednesday. We try to get every early morning appointment we can..

I can post when I get out and let you know, but by then it will probably be too late, huh?

i had this 2x.  the first time was 15 minutes and they shuffled me out the door.  The second time was 15 minutes, a 20 minute break and another 15 minutes

Depends on how cooperative LO is

The tech needs to take a precise measurement and if LO isn't holding still or is in the wrong position, it can take a while.  I think we spent about 30-45 minutes (and lots of coughing, moving, shaking and pressing) before the tech finally got what he needed

Our u/s part was about 20 minutes, so I'm assuming our LO cooperated.  I thought our tech seemed a little rushed, so I'm hoping she got all of the right readings.  We'll find out this week.

Mine was also approx. 20 min. My LOs are positioned one on top of each other just like a bunk bed arrangement. It was very easy for her to get the measurements and she still spent a decent amount of time. Of course it takes longer for two, but I was still surprised. She walked us through everything showing us different views

Mine lasted about 30 minutes.  LO wasn't very cooperative, but we got what we needed.

Mine was 17 minutes, however the office was over an hour behind. Obviously it can vary quite a bit depending on if LO is where it needs to be.

We were there (in the back) for about 25 - 30 minutes I think.  And the blood was just a finger prick.  It depends on if the tech. can get a good picture of the baby.  Our baby was being a little stubborn and I had to move around a few times.

Sounds like ours,minus the getting the right angle for the picture, we had to abort the mission!  We have a stubborn LO!

our u/s was about 15 min tops. The lady really wasn't too friendly and informative. I had to ask questions the whole time. Glad I did because she was pretty mute.

Mine was today, and it took 30 minutes because the baby was not cooperating. I also waited 30 minutes to be seen because the twins the woman before me was carrying were not cooperating either. I think your H will be fine 10 mins late. If you have not been to the clinic before you will need to handle insurance info and ppwk anyway.
