Not an NT scan, but a BUN?

MrsSR · January 2010

Has anyone heard of a BUN?

I'm getting it on Thursday. I'm guessing it's like an NT scan, because they are checking for Downs.

I think those are the three parts of an NT scan. They do draw blood & do an untrasound. I think the N stands for nuchal/nasal because the measure the nuchal(back of neck) skin and look to see if the baby has a prominent nasal bone. HTH
