How many people are getting this as standard?
I'm 36 and will be 37 by the time bubba arrives. In our area, you don't get a nuchal fold scan unless your first combined blood test and dating scan, done at between 10.3 and 12 .2 weeks, comes back with a marker which suggests you are high risk. I'd like to have one done anyway. Can you pay? It would just put my mind at rest even though I know the scan only picks up about 85% of cases of Downs. Pregnancy is a worrying enough time especially with my history and the more worry I can remove, the better for me and baby.
