NIPT Tests in the South West, where to go?

I’m currently very very newly and nervously pregnant after 4mc in the last 12 months of ttc.

I will be opting to have the NIPT test done if/when I get to that stage (due to my age and me being older).

I live in the South West and am wondering if anyone has any recommendations of where to go to get this done? I’ve googled and there are so many different places.

Ideally Gloucestershire, but Bristol is doable too.

Thank you ☺️

I'm in Gloucestershire. I had it done at the hospital when I went for a scan after a high risk down syndrome result on the quad test. I didn't have to wait or book an appointment. They took the blood there and then and sent it off to the lab. The hospital then invoiced me.

I would ask your midwife at booking in. She may be able to arrange it for your 12 week scan or advice where you can get it.

@WhyDoesItAlways thank you, that’s really helpful. I didn’t even think about the possibility of the actual hospital being able to do the blood work.
Will definitely mention it to my midwife when the time comes!
