who is NOT getting an nt scan?

SpartyGirl · October 2008

i don't think dh & i want to have it done. just feels like 1 more thing to worry about, you know? besides, it's out of our control, and i don't think that we would terminate if something were wrong.

just wondering who else is opting out.

I won't be

Mrs.KAP · October 2008

I didn't get one for the exact same reasons you mentioned.

SeminoleJessica · October 2008

my drs office doesnt offer them, so no we didnt have one. We did get bloodwork and while we would not terminate either, if there was something that came up we wanted to have the weeks before the baby was born to read up on the disability and so we would be more prepared when the baby arrived...

rachelxx05 · October 2008

I have never been offered one and would pass anyways....

AngelsAmid · October 2008

Our OB did not offer this test- but we wouldn't have done it anyway.

ncsubride · October 2008

We didn't do it.

Kerri

lata82 · October 2008

We didn't do it. but then again it wasn't offered to us

jwally · October 2008

we didn't this.

::raises hand:: me! We don't have any risk factors, and the results would not make a difference for us anyways. Many times insurance doesn't cover it if you are under 35. Although I am jealous of those that do because they get an extra u/s. Wink

We didn't. We did the Quad Screen, however.

moniquitta · October 2008

DH and I decided not to do it either for the exact same reasons that you listed.

gremaud07 · October 2008

We are not with this baby.

CaseBride · October 2008

We are not, and we are not getting the AFP test either. Any positive results would not change our mind about not terminating... and there are false positives which would put us through a lot of stress. So we are not doing them.

We are however doing the 20-week growth ultrasound.

nellieboo · October 2008

We won't be

melsie · October 2008

we didnt do it. seemed silly to spend the extra money (and insurance) on something that wouldn't change anything for us. the risks of false positives and follow up procedures was definitely not something we were willing to take on.

we were happy with our decision, and our Dr. was helpfull in giving us the pros/cons about not/having it done.

GL with whatever you decide.

lil'kim · October 2008

I declined for several reasons. It's really a personal decision though.

ParisBride06 · October 2008

We chose not to have it done for the same reasons.

jenniesue · October 2008

My ins wouldn't cover the extra ultrasound and really, the only reason I wanted to do it was to see the baby again. I'm not having the 2nd trimester screening for the same reasons you mentioned. It would be our luck that we would have a false positive.
