I'm currently 15w6d, and after my NT scan (great!) and bloodwork (horrific!) 1 in 34 for T21. For a variety of reasons, we won't be getting any invasive testing done before 30 weeks.
Does anyone know what the NHS might offer or I might be able to ask for given I've declined their offers of amnios/CVS and I'm quite clearly screen positive? I'm thinking of:
16 week quad screen bloodwork
A more in-depth anomaly scan (maybe at Kings - I'm currently at Queen Elizabeth in Woolwich)
A cardiac scan (Kings again)
An amnio at 30 weeks, i.e. post viability, just so we know for sure
Now I'm guessing they probably won't go for any of that, I had my chance for an amnio and I said no. But has anyone had any luck getting these things after declining invasive tests?
I realise I can probably get all of these privately at the Fetal Medicine Centre (we went there for a second NT scan, no soft markers found thankfully) but we're not made of money and justifying it to DH, the main wage earner, is not easy.
