12 week scan - ultrasound experts needed please, is this normal?

Had dating scan last week at 12+2. They didn’t do the NT measurement as far as I could tell as I’d had a private nifty screen done already. However I’ve just been comparing this scan to my previous babies and I feel like the spine/ nuchal area looks really wide. Looks like there’s a big gap between baby’s body and the line below if that makes sense? I’m now very worried baby has spina bifida or another condition…. Does the scan look normal to any ultrasound experts here? I could be looking at entirely the wrong thing but I can’t find anything comparable online.
thanks

It looks normal to me - spina bifida looks very different to that, more of a bubble. If it looked increased they would tell you as an increased nuchal can also relate to heart conditions which a nipt wouldn’t.

Thanks, I was just hoping something hasn’t been missed which would be my fault as I had the genetic screening done.
