Looking for advice please!

I had my 12 wk scan but baby was wriggling too much for a proper measurement for the screening to be done. I have been rebooked at 16 and they made it clear I would only be screened for Downs. How much can I push for another screening before 14 wks? Is there a way to get it done privately if I need to?

Pay for NIPT? Much more accurate anyway.

Thanks. I will look that up now! First time pregnancy so this is all very new to me.

Are you based in London? I am currently looking for a private NIPT clinic. I started a thread to ask others for recommendations, there's been a few suggested here: https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/pregnancy/4948389-nipt-clinic-london-recommendations?reply=130922281

No I am in the NW but that’s such a helpful thread!

I have managed to book a private NIPT next week. Hope you gets yours sorted.
