NT 4.1mm at 13 weeks

[shoeprincess2]

Hi ladies! So, today was the day to have my dating scan and the combined nuchal test and blood thingymejig. I was so relieved to be told that baby's heartbeat was there, that i was totally not prepared for the "your baby's NT is above normal and I shall get a midwife to come and talk to you about further testing". I'm afraid the midwife might as well have been talking a totally different language in the half hour that followed. My mind was whirring. Fortunately, my partner was there to ask lots of questions- i just sat in a daze. Anyway, we agreed to still have the blood test, to get a combined risk factor and will be booked in for an amnio in a few weeks. However, i guess even if the amnio comes back with no chromosonal abnormalities, the anomaly scan is going to be key to see if there are any other issues. I am so upset by this. I guess I just wanted to post to see if someone will come and hold my hand...

Hi shoeprincess yes we asked for the sex and it's definitely a girl, a real bonus as far as i'm concerned as we already have a ds, so we can now have a full set! They actually told me after the early results and just confirmed it. Now just have the 20 week scan next week so heres hoping she has all the bits in the right place!

Aaaah bless. That's lovely news Boggler. I suspect we are having a boy- will confirm when I get the full karotype. As a slightly funny (but mainly annoying) aside, I announced to the team at work about my pregnancy. One lady said "I thought you had put on weight and your jeans were tight!" After the last 3 weeks of stress and worry... Tactless. I am now keeping a log of all these pregnancy quips and remarks!

Hi ladies, would love to know how you got through the rest of your pregnancies and how your little ones are doing. I have a high NT and worried about outcomes even if CVS comes out clear. I know this is an old thread but any information would be much appreciated. Thanks
