18wk ultrasound

Not so much a question but more a vent I am so gutted right now went for my 18week morphology scan today but they refused to do the scan as the referall was filled out incorrectly as a 12week nuch scan now I've missed the window for picking up anything wrong early I am so upset

You can do a morphology till 22-23 weeks just get a new referral and book it again
My friend was 20 weeks and they had her booked in for the wrong one and she did the morphology at 21 weeks

You can do it later. They told me to go closer to 20 for gender as the later the more chance they'll see it correctly

I've always done mine at 20 weeks. Just get a new referral from your doctor and rebook

Don’t stress yourself out, it’s a set back but you can reschedule for next week :) if need be go privately and get Medicare rebate so you’re not too out of pocket. Good luck.

Sonographers prefer you to be closer to 20 weeks, so go and get a new referral and have another scan done. The morphology scans are quite important but just get a new referral and it'll be o!

All 3 of mine were done at 20 weeks, the ultrasound clinic actually wouldn't allow me to book them before my 20 week mark.
Just reschedule and try not to stress.

Its not a big deal love.
When i wanted to book my morphology scan, they wouldn't even do it until 20 weeks because the results are a lot clearer then.
Go and get a new referral and do the scan sometime over the next two weeks.

A nuchal can only be done at 12 weeks. Not everyone has this scan. Its not yhe end of the world.
The important one is the morphology ar 19-22 weeks.

Is this your first child?? 😂😂😂
There are no set deadlines of 18 weeks. You can have you morphology scan between 18-22 weeks, plenty of time!
Also, this is something you could have also picked up on if you read your referral.

Things can also go wrong at ANY week, so don't feel like that you're in the all clear because you had a scan at a certain week.

Your sonographer could have called you dr and have them fax over the referral

Mine did that. I just had to wait a bit.l.
