Hello everyone! I'm Stephanie and I am currently 11.5 weeks pregnant. I'm currently living in Wilkins twp. and teach preschool in Braddock.
I have my first trimester screening at Magee on March 7. I was just wondering if anyone knew if they give you the picture from your ultrasound even though it is done through the genetic testing center. It's my birthday and my grandfather's so I was really hoping to be able to share the first ultrasound pictures with my family that night.
I believe they will. It is through genetic testing, but it is the same place you would go for your anatomy scan at 20 weeks...ultrasound and genetic counseling kind of share an area. I can't tell you for sure because we elected for the Verifi testing as opposed to the NT since we had already had two u/s at our RE's office and the. NT gives you odds and Verifi is more definitive.

I didn't get my Nt scan done at Magee but I did get pictures at the place I went so I'm sure they will. My anatomy scan is at Magee this weekend.. Can't wait!
I got my first trimester screen at Magee and I got pictures! :-) Good luck with your screen. It really relieved a lot of worry for me seeing the baby jumping around on the screen.
I haven't gotten my official screening results yet, but the ultrasound went really well! Strong heartbeat and measuring right on track. We're so excited!
That's great! Our A/S is next week and I can't wait to see the little pumpkin again. Hopefully you get your results back quicker than I did. They told me 1 week but I think I finally called after 3 to get my results.
How much does Magee charge for the First Trimester Screen? I had an ultrasound done in Wexford and asked if they could do the genetic testing. The tech said no, I'd have to do it at Magee. Well, when I talked with the genetic department at Magee, they said I could have had it all done at that one visit! I'm upset because I'm sure this isn't cheap to get 2 ultrasounds in 2 weeks. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!!
I'm sure it varies by insurance but I believe the bill I received was between $200 and $300. I'm not sure if that included the other bloodwork I had done that day as well.
BeanE7- I know the location at Wexford wasn't equipped to do the genetic scan. I don't know why they told you that because the only locations they gave me that were able to do that particular scan was either at Magee or in the South Hills.
I had it done at the Wexford location. It is possible because I had had one done at Magee with my first baby and they already had enough information on me. If this is ur first, u would have to go to Magee.
