I did it there with both of my boys. The ultrasound is amazing! The baby really looks like a baby at that point, which is super fun. Their equipment seems high-tech.

They will make you watch a boring video beforehand, then you do the ultrasound, then get your blood drawn. If they notice anything out of the ordinary, they will have you speak with a genetic counselor after all that. I had a scare with the measurement on my first son's neck. Waiting a week for the results was excruciating, but it all turned out fine.

We found out genders for both of our boys from the blood test at CMG.

I had mine done there. It was a snap, and nice. It was funny because she didn't want to let us get the measurements so we were shaking my belly trying to wake her up.

I did talk to a geneticist afterward to go over results. Nothing abnormal (except my being 36), although we discussed the muscular dystrophy I carry, and decided the risk was low.

I've had both of my girls' NT scans done there and they are wonderful and super professional.

we had ours done there and it was great. the ultrasound is a lot of fun, i think i walked out of there with 8+ pictures and they put it on a tv on the wall so you can see easily. we also did the jack and jill test and found out the gender at 13 weeks. so much fun we obviously did not have any complications though, if so that would have been stressful.

we go on the 29th. I will be 12w and a few days. We do plan on finding out the sex then also.

Great experience with them. We didn't watch a video beforehand and we did meet with a genetic counselor afterwards, even though our results were normal. The u/s tech was great and even told us the sex at 12w! (We didn't do the b/w, but she was pretty confident he was a boy just by looking.) I have nothing but good things to say about them.

(Did nobody else get a cookie? We got a super cute and really yummy cookie at the end. Being pregnant, this was a HUGE perk! Stick out tongue )

Dh and I were very displeased with the service we got over the phone while trying to get everything scheduled. Our insurance clearly covered it but they were saying it wasn't. We gave up and just cancelled. We left a message for the manager as well and never got a call back.

The worst thing about it was that DH and I had both taken off work to have it done and they literally did not call me till 4:50pm the day before to tell us they were having issues with the insurance.
