Sorry I dont know I didn't have one with Sam. Just wanted to say good luck and enjoy seeing bub bouncing around.

Nope. My ob said between 11 1/2 and 13 1/2 weeks. I think the nuchal thickness can be a bit thicker towards the 13 weeks mark, but I think they take that into account. enjoy it!

I dont think that will be too late is you are sure that you will not be more than 13 weeks on that day. Im actually not sure if its too late at 14 weeks. Have you been for a scan yet to get he exact dates? When you booked the app they would/should have asked you your last period dates and worked it out for you. If you are worried ask them if they can do it a few days before. If you so do miss out on the scan because of the dates they can still do the blood test to give you some idea.

My dates are all over the place at the moment. I think I will be 12wk 3d when I go on 21st Jan but the scan my OB did was saying I am a week behind so it might be too early for me on the day to have it done. I suppose we'll figure it out on the day.

I had a small scan yesterday to find the heartbeat as the doppler could not locate it. Anyways it was spot on with dates from our 7week scan, so pretty sure they are correct

My midwife told me it would be ok, but the receptionist who seemed to be in a bad mood told me it was WAY too late then

I think 13 weeks might be the outer limit... or is it 13w, 5d... oh I can't remember.

Co-incidentally, I'm having my NT scan on the same day. I'll be 12w, 2d.

When I rang to make my appoint, I was told they liked doing it at 12 weeks 4 days, but my Ob said anytime between 11 and 13 weeks, but closer to the 12 week mark. I'd say it should be fine....perhaps call the place where you're having it done, they'd have to know, surely.

**Hokey Pokey** · 11-01-2008 12:04

I was sure my midwife said 13 weeks 5 days at the latest??

**vasiliasmum** · 11-01-2008 12:16

I'm sure I read it was either 13 weeks 5 days or 13 weeks 6 days - either way at 13 weeks you'll be fine

Dont stress, I spoke to the place here and they like it done by 13 weeks 5 days so you should be right. I was told not to get it before 12 weeks. Mine was booked for 12 weeks 4 days, cos of my stupid dates even if they discovered my original date was right, I would still only be 13 weeks 2 days and under the 'cut off'.
