hi im 12+2 weeks preg with my 2nd child, i have endomentriosis and had two miscarriges before i have my daughter, including 1 that the baby had died at 7weeks but didnt bleed till 11weeks so had a D'n'C the following day. i was then lucky enough to have my amazing daughter who is now 3.
I am currently preg with my 2nd child due early decemeber, i has my 12week scan yesterday which showed that the skin behind babys neck (where they test for downs etc) is 3.1mm and anything below 2.5mm is considered normal, i now have to wait 10days for my blood results to come back.
I had finally gotten over the scary 12weeks of miscarrige now i have this to deal with, i am terrified crying constantly, my daughter keeps talking about the baby and how excited she is which upsets me more. does any1 have any advise or stories to share with me? anything would help...

I was exactly where you are one year ago. The measurement was 3.1. The NHS said it was fine. I didn't agree. I worried and worried and decided to go for CVS. All was well and my beutiful boy is just perfect. I think if could go back I would skip the stress of the nuchal and go straight for cvs. Its not for everyone, but it would saved a whole lot of stress for me.

Great news!

I too had a measurement of 3.0mm at 13w (in UK) - the sonographer wasn't overly concerned. My bloods came back with a 1:280 or something and so am classed as low risk in my area.

I'm now 31w pg and have kind of put it to the back of my mind :)
