NIPT Test

I'm wondering the same thing! Have you had combined screening results yet?

Hiya. I've just had the NIPT test..results came back quicker than expected. But it was on NHS. I still would for peace of mind xx

Hi! It might depend on what’s available to you, but I was able to request and pay for this test at the hospital I attended after discussing with the NHS antenatal team. I chose to do it as I am an older mum.

I did a private NIPT with my second as his nuchal scan was borderline and they weren’t happy with it and he wiggled too much in scans.

Did a private NIPT just to make sure nothing was abnormal and got my results in 3 days.

I’d do it straight away with baby 3 just to not stress over things unnecessarily.

I’ve had one - combined testing only detects about 80% of cases

I had NIPT at 10 weeks. I’m 40 which will indicate a higher risk on combined screening and I dreaded the thought of being told high risk, then have to wait for NIPT through NHS and be told either ok or not ok. It isn’t that uncommon that mums are told high risk for all to be well.

Results were all good so said no to combined screening at 12 week scan.

Too expensive tbh, never did it

It’s well worth doing imo. I had it via the NHS due to combined screening results. If I ever go on to become pregnant again, I’d 100% book to get it done privately sooner. X
