A. The NTNB (Nuchal Translucency and Nasal Bone) scan is typically performed during the first trimester (11-14 weeks) of pregnancy to assess the risk of certain chromosomal abnormalities, such as Down syndrome, and to check the baby’s nasal bone development. If you have missed this scan, it's not ideal, as it can provide important early information about the baby’s health. However, missing the NT scan is not necessarily a cause for panic. There are other options for screening and diagnostic tests later in pregnancy, such as the quad screen or cell-free DNA (cfDNA) test, which can provide additional insights into genetic conditions. Additionally, anomaly scans during the second trimester (around 18-22 weeks) can help assess fetal development and detect structural abnormalities. It’s important to discuss with your doctor or gynecologist about the best next steps based on your pregnancy history and any concerns you might have.
