is the nuchal translucency the same as the ultrascreen?
i'm scheduled for my nuchal translucency test in a few weeks. i know that is at least part of the ultrascreen, but are they the same thing? do i need to make a separate appointment?
i have to go to madonna to have it done if that matters. thanks!

All done at the same time. One part of it is a finger stick for blood, the other part of it is the ultrasound.

The nuchal scan is where they amongst other things they measure the folds of skin at the back of babys neck, the ultrascreen is the bloodwork that goes along with that scan, the two things together give the results for trisomys and other things. Good luck
