1st Trimester

How many vials of blood did they take...

...for the NT scan? I had SIX vials taken. I thought it would only be like 2 or 3. I guess I should know what it was all for, but I have no idea.

Re: How many vials of blood did they take...

  • I just had one taken at mine yesterday.  At my second appointment at 6w5d I had five vials drawn for the routine screenings, so maybe you had both done at the same time?

  • With my first appt. they took 4 huge vials- hopefully I won't need another blood test til 2nd trimester.

  • I'm guessing they were for other tests as well.  I was told I'd have a blood draw at my next appointment (12w) for routine tests as well as the first trimester blood screen.

  • They took 10 from me, but it was also the first time they have taken blood so it was probably more because of that.

  • I feel like they took almost 10!! There were so many different tests on the list and when I saw all the vials I almost fainted. Plus I was having m/s on the drive home and feeling even more faint.

  • I had 12 taken.  I counted them three times because I couldn't believe they needed all that.  This was 2 weeks ago for all the routine screenings, then last week I had 4 taken for MaterniT21 and a Tay Sach's screen, now NT scan tomorrow.  I'm bruised beyond belief so I'm hoping it's just the finger prick tomorrow otherwise they'll probably have to find a vein in my foot because my arms are shot!
