Harrogate Hospital has recently introduced a
new early screening programme for Down’s Syndrome which
includes measurement of nuchal fold thickness on ultrasound
at around 12 weeks. This means that it is important that you
arrange to see your GP as soon as you find out you are
pregnant so that you can get information about the screening
and make an early appointment to discuss the testing with a
midwife, ideally at 6-7 weeks of pregnancy. Midwife
appointments are available on the ground floor at Mowbray
Square Medical Centre and can be booked through Reception.
They also offer drop-in clinics at the
Surestart Centres. Download our Antenatal Screening booklet HERE |
