    Can anyone tell me are these done as standard?
    I'm only booked in for a 20 weeks scan as far as I know. I though Nuchal was earlier.
    And I got good harmony test result which I thought was enough, but Google tells me other things get picked up by Nuchal scan??? Should I do both?

    they are not done as standard in this country & need to be done between 11-14 weeks. But I don't know why you'd need it if you've done the harmony that covers what the nuchal looks for & with more accuracy? The 20 week anomaly will look at the major organs & measure limbs & things like that.

    To the best of my knowledge the Harmony test covers off pretty much everything.
