NT scan on NHS?

[isthisnameavailable]

Nuchal Transulency scan, do the NHS do it?

Thanks

yes.

for all women or over 35s?
When did this begin?
Is it just in some areas?

It is for all women at my hospital but I got the impression this is a policy that is set regionally?

It's for all women where I live too. I even got called back on another day to have an extra scan because baby was too wriggly to get an accurate NT measurement at my first scan.

Everyone gets one here - you don't have to though but I don't think you get a normal scan at 12 weeks. It's always a NT and you're sent to the local teaching hospital for one.

Where I live you don't, even if over 35.

Depends where you are - I got it, best friend lives 5 miles down the road but different health authority and she didn't!

Depends where you live. My trust didn't offer the Nuchal Translucancy part in 2009 when I was pregnant with my daughter, but I was offered it at my recent 12 week scan with this baby. We declined.

north herts offer a NT or a dating scan. i only had the dating scan last week as am over 13weeks (15 weeks 2 days at the scan)

Not here.

Here in Wiltshire it's only for women over 40.

Depends on your area. My area offers it to all women at the 12 week dating scan as standard. You can still have a 12 week scan if you don't want the NT screening and just have the blood test. Some areas don't offer it to anyone at all.

I think it depends on where you live. When I was pregnant with DS it wasn't offered on the NHS so I had to pay privately for it (but at the NHS hospital!) however they now offer it as routine in Grampian for everybody so things have changed.

where i am - yes, everyone who wants

I'm in west Herts and everyone is offered regardless of age I had it at my 12 week scan

My trust does not offer it. We did it private. it seems to be a postcode lottery.

Got the choice of a "normal" dating scan or the NT one here - also have an express referral route from the recurrent miscarriage clinic (cutting out the midwife referral part of the loop) as there's an acceptance that those women may have a different perspective on things like amnio than those coming in off a first pregnancy.

We've decided to go for the NT scan but will not go for the follow ups if there's an increased risk shown.
