When I was scanned at 11 weeks the NT was 3.4mm.
I was having a CVS anyway due to DS2 having had Downs and it came back clear for the trisomies although I did not have the full karotype check as this is only offered at my hospital where NT is over 3.5.
I have spoken with my consultant who tells me that an increased NT with no chromosomal abnormality is often indicative of a heart issue.
Has anyone had experience of this?
Has anyone had an increased NT and then given birth to a healthy baby?
My consultant is being very supportive and I have the full anomoly scan and cardiac scan booked for when I am 23 weeks (despite almost begging they wont do it earlier as they say the diffrence between what they can see at even 21 & 23 weeks is so significant that it is not worth doing it earlier).
I know really I just need to wait and see but some reassurance or a reality check would be useful.
Thanks
