NT measurement?

7 replies

Hi,
I had my dating scan last Monday, with the combined screening. I was told by the lady who took my bloods I'd have a phone call by last Thursday if they thought I was high risk, otherwise a letter in 2 weeks (nothing yet).

Should I know my NT measurement? I see a lot of people posting about theirs (seemingly pre blood result) but I have absolutely no idea what mine was. The sonographer did say baby was quite uncooperative when measuring to date, but never said anything about not being able to measure for the testing.

If there had been anything particularly worrying about the nt measurement on your scan, you would have been told there and then. I only knew what mine was in my last pregnancy because it was abnormally high and the baby was too small for my dates so I was referred immediately to fetal medicine for further tests.

When I had my dd a few years ago I wasn't told anything by the sonographer except that the baby looked fine, and just got a letter a few weeks later telling me that I was low risk.

Did you get a print out after the scan? My measurement was on there x

Do you have your maternity notes? Did they staple a print out in there? That will have nt measurement on it. That's how they did it at my local hospital anyway.

Thanks for the replies.
I did get a print out, however the only measurement on there is baby crown-rump.
I guess then it might be a hospital/trust variance if you find out. I am feeling optimistic that no news is good news!

ibentmywookie I am assuming what you said about your dd must be the case for me too then. I hope everything with baby 2 turned out ok.

You'd have had the call by now so I'm sure you're fine. I just saw what my measurement was on the screen while she was taking it.

@laelti mine was written in my pregnancy notes, I had a look through them after seeing that everyone seemed to know theirs! x

Still no idea what my measurement was, but found my letter (I think OH might have 'tidied' and it ended up under something else...) and my results are both low risk.
Thanks for all the replies!
