Yes, mine was done at 11 weeks and a few days..As long as they dont do it too late they will be able to see and measure the neck. If it is after 14-15 weeks they cant do the test by ultrasound any more, but they can test your blood in a triple or quad screen for downe syndrome and other diseases Proof: http://www.babycenter.com/0_nuchal-translucency-screening_118.bc

I am not getting an ultrasound at 12 weeks. My next one is at 20 and my last one was at 7. We heard the heartbeat at 12.

Hello and Congratulations! Regarding the question about the 12th week ultrasound I’ve always understood that the normal time in pregnancy to have it done is about 20 weeks. However you and your doctor can determine what’s best for you and your circumstances. The doctors here will help you make the best choice for you and baby. I hope this little bit of information helps you feel positive about your moving to the United States.
