We had a scan at UCH a couple of days ago by a sonographer accredited by the Fetal medicine fopundation. He spent an hour on the scan and checked nasal bone, nuchal fluid, ductus venosus flow, heart valves and my bloods. We got the blood results there and then.
Our risk came back as 1 in 5 for Down's.
We are wondering whether to go privately for another scan / more bloods rather than the invasive CVS or amnio as we don't think we would terminate but just need a few questions answered and as much info as we can gather at this stage. I am 13 weeks tomorrow.
Many thanks.

Does anyone know if a private scan will pick up/test more than the scan done at UCH on the NHS?
