Do I need to have an early pregnancy scan or can I just come for the Nuchal?
It is not necessary to have a scan prior to the nuchal translucence screen. However the scan does need to be done within a relatively narrow date between 11 weeks and 13 weeks and 6 days. Therefore if there is any uncertainty with dates, particularly if the pregnancy could be more advanced, then an earlier scan to confirm dates may be indicated so that the screening opportunity is not lost.
