I am currently 20 weeks pregnant after 2 miscarriages in the last couple of years.
At my scan last week I was told my baby's nuchal fold measured 9.7mm and there were no other issues (baby measured as it should be, and heart seemed healthy etc etc) - I know this is much higher than average so wondered if anyone had measured this at their 20 week scan, and if their baby was either born with or without downs syndrome?
The end result wont affect mine and husbands decision about this baby as I have a very close relationship with a cousin who has downs syndrome and we can think of far worse conditions for a child to be born with. I suppose its more to clarify the likelyhood - we refused the amnio due to previous losses - this baby means more to us than placing it at risk just now when we will find out very soon anyway.
thanks in advance for any advice given xxxxxx
