Does it matter how close to 20 weeks the scan is done?
After having some worries at my 12 week scan, I'm now impatiently waiting for the 20 week scan to see if my baby is healthy or not. It's a worrying time as although my harmony test came back negative, there is still a strong possibility of other chromosomal issues due to rubbish bloods at 12 weeks. My NT was only 2.6 so they were happy to offer me basic screening via CVS for Downs based on my bloods, but not the full chromosomal profile as NT was only borderline. We opted for the harmony test instead of CVS bit I'm still worrying myself sick about the other possibilities.
My anomaly scan is scheduled for when I'm 20+6. Should I be pushing to have it earlier or is there a window for accuracy like the 12 week scan at 11-13 weeks?
I'm also worried about cutting things fine if God forbid I need a TFMR.
