Guest guest Posted June 17, 2001 Report Share Posted June 17, 2001 Please does anyone know some information I can give my *newly pregnant* sister about CVS or indeed other tests in pregnancy to detect abnormalities. (She is 10 weeks hooray). However her (London) GP is being very slow and not helpful and has told her she can't have an appointment to see the consultant for nearly 2 weeks to discuss. As far as I remember she needs to do the CVS at 11 weeks?! I feel so frustrated for her - as having had two children - I know some of these timings are crucial. We are both diabetic and in my experience implications of diabetes in routine testing in pregnancy are not well understood, and the whole *testing* experience with DS1 was a nightmare for me which I had not thought through. She said they'd told her about a test done between 10 and 13 weeks - which involved a blood test too. Is this an *improvement* on the CVS scan which I had 4 years ago? Any help and advice would be appreciated. phine (Mum to 3.5 & Ben 2.5, Cambridge NCT) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
