NT scan Uconn

we have a 12wk NT scan scheduled soon at the farmington UCONN health center to check for our risks for downs and other risks for our twins. Have any of you gone there for this? How was your experience? Did you find them to be pretty accurate? We weren't planning on doing amnio or cvs unless our risk is very high so that we can plan ahead for our babies. Would love to hear from you if you have been thru this there, TIA

    I had mine there and had a great experience, the genetic counselor was super nice and sweet (it was a woman) and explained everything and very open. The ultrasound technician was great as well with a great bed side manor. The doctor was a little bit quiet but nice. Overall it went great and you will get pictures to take home :-)

    I think this is a pretty standard screen nowadays. I had mine and I think my result was like 1 in 10,000. or somethings like that. Its still just a probability/chance thing. Some people opt out because even if you get a result of 1 in 100, your baby may still be 100% fine, and hearing the higher percentage can make your freak unnecessarily. I just did it since it wasnt really invasive or anything. Me & FI do not have any high risk background (family history, cultural or ethnic risks) and I am young (24) so I wasnt really expecting anything alarming. Not sure what I would have done if my results would have been different. 

    Also, its a great excuse to see your LO and get some more pics. The growth from the early/dating u/s were amazing!

    I had mine at Uconn as well The counselor was very nice and gave me a lot of good info. The ultrasound tech was also supernice and gave me some good shots of the baby. The Dr. I had was nice and answerd all my questions. I have heard that some of the Doctors are quiet and come off as rude.
