NT test, how much blood?

My ob mentioned just a finger prick.  I don't think I have ever had any pg bloodwork done that wasn't a blood draw.  I am really hoping for just a prick since they always have a hard time finding my veins.

    I got vials of blood no finger pricks for the NT.

  • I had a blood draw.  Then I saw that for the paperwork, she took a drop of blood and put a drop in a box on paperwork for the lab.  There were several boxes that she did this to.  I didn't ask any questions about it.

    What other :fun tests?"  I already did all of my pg blood work at 6w.

  • I just got my NT test done two days ago, and all they did was prick my finger. They had 6 little circles on a test sheet they had to fill with the blood, so I don't see why it would be necessary to take vials.
