confused about scan measurements

Hi, I was wondering if anyone can help explain a couple of things from my 20 week scan.
Firstly, does anyone know what a 'worrying' nuchal fold measurement would be at 20 weeks? Also, does it mean anything significant if most of the other measurements are on the higher side of 'average'? (or does it just mean the baby might be big?)

I was relieved to be told there were no obvious abnormalities but these have still made me curious - I didnt start to think about them until just now.
thanks.

I wouldn't worry, as long as they advised you all was ok with scan it really isn't worth worrying about. But I know it's easier for me to say..I'm not 20 weeks pregnant.

BUT I was told I was a good size when pregnant and would have an average size baby...DD (Now 10 months old) was 9lb 4ozs.! Shock. I'm only petite at 4ft 11in.
They didn't want to scare me by saying dd would be big, also they knew I could deliever her without any problems.

I would say, have faith in your mw and team and talk to them about your concerns. The baby has to come out one way or another and your mw will ensure you are looked after 100%. You have another 20 weeks left so chill and enjoy the pregnancy. It passes so quickly, believe me.

HTH. Goodluck xx

Thanks - I know I should stop worrying! I'm quite a shorty myself though! I know they will look after me so I'll try and relax!
thanks for your help though.
