Hi all,
I wanted to share my story. At the 12 weeks scan in 2017 the doctor told us that the NT measurement of our baby was 4.2 mm. We were in chock. I had a son that was 2,5 years and he had 1.2 mm NT at the 12 weeks scan so this was a new horrible experience! I felt that I had to know so I did a CVS. Thankfully the results all came back fine, we were so relieved. But still you just cannot get over the shock and the lurking thought and worry that something might not be right even if I felt great and was so happy that my son was going to get a little brother. It was still nerve wrecking! I googled and read so many horrible story’s, a few with good endings too, but it was mainly very sad stories. But then, a year ago, my son was born and he was just perfect! Nothing wrong at all! A year has passed, he is one, and he is the quickest and most perfect little kid! So much faster in all his developments than his older brother was, he started walking at 9 months and his brother started walking at 15 months. At the 10 month check up at the clinic they said he was really ahead of his curve on all levels so the point is that the NT is just an indication, it’s not a fun thing to go through but in most cases a high NT measurement does not equal any chromosome problems or issues. I always thought that I would write about my positive experience if all ended well and here I am writing this and I am so happy (!) and I hope this can give someone comfort if you are in the same situation I was in.
Lots of love
Take care everyone!
