Anyone had their quad test postponed at 16 week midwife appointment?

Hi all, couldn’t get a NF measurement at my 12 week scan, so couldn’t have the combined test. My 16 week midwife appointment is in 2 week, and I would be offered the quad test then (under normal circumstances) but I’m worried this might be cancelled and moved to 20 week scan. Has anyone else had theirs cancelled or delayed?

I think they have to do it before 20 weeks.

They gave me a booklet at my scan as they couldn’t do the nuchal measurements and I’m sure I read that it can be done anytime between 15-20 weeks.

I would hope that they don’t postpone it give you they weren’t able to do the nuchal measurements.

I would call your midwife and remind them you need to have your quad test at the 16 week appointment.
Mine was written in my notes and I was told I needed to let the midwife know that I needed the quad test if they tried to cancel the appointment. Luckily they didn't, but when I went today to have it done they obviously hadn't been told as they only realised when they looked at my notes.

Are you all having face to face midwife appointments still? Mine has been switched to a telephone call.

At the hospital the sonographer said she would get me to book in for my anomaly scan at 19+4 and they would do bloods then. Which makes me think they planned on cancelling my 16 week midwife appointment. It’s 2 weeks tomorrow and I’ve not heard it’s been cancelled yet, but I assume they are reviewing as they go along. If they do try to cancel I will make sure they know I need the quad done and can’t be delayed. Thanks x
