Brief Answer:
Change site of injection
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
NT scan is to identify if there are chances of genetic defects like Down's syndrome. Scan at 22 weeks is done to check if there is any abnormalities in the baby.
The cost is not much and varies in different places.
You can change injection site to both thighs and abdomen. This way site of injection at one place is reduced.
Regards
