Hi, this is my first post here! So hello :)
Had my 12 week scan today - everything looked great, my DS test result was 1:5100 or something, which apparently is low risk. However the doctor had to state the nasal bone as "absent". It was "there", as in we could see it but it was supposed to be "brighter" than the skin for it to show fully ossified (i.e. hardened) but it was same or a bit duller. She said not to worry too much, my risk was still low, the baby is still very small so hard to see and also my husband is of Asian origin so they often have smaller/less defined nasal bones.
I was fine when I left, but now I am having niggling worries about DS and googling everything Has anyone else experienced this and can give me some reassurance? They say they will check again at the 20 week scan, but it seems so long away. I'm such an impatient person, I don't want to get so freaked out I consider doing a private CVS/amnio or something silly when I don't need to....
Thanks for reading.
