Nuchal translucency

[GeMa08]

I had my NT scan couple days ago and it was 5.8mm. The midwife told me that there is only 30% that my baby will be healthy and 70% with chromosomal abnormalities. The took bloods for the combined test and result came in as high risk st 1:13. I felt so defeated. It is my first pregnancy, our first baby. We’ve been praying for this little blessing for a long time. All i wanted is for my baby to be healthy, but this happened. I am due to see a consultant next week,might proceed with the CVS on the same day. Has anybody had the same dillema as mine? Please share your journey. I am still hanging on to that ray of hope for my baby.

I had a nt of 6.3 1:20 for downs, amniocentesis came back clear, they also found some fluid and cysts on baby at week 20. However I’m now 28 weeks and fmu said scans all now normal whatever was going on has cleared itself.

Yes, had 1 in 16 chance come back and had CVS a few days later that was clear.

Although 1 in 12 is high risk, it's still 11 out of 12 chance that its fine. The CVS is conclusive, so you'll get definite answers and don't need to torture yourself making a what of decision.

Try not to worry too much in the meantime and hoping for a good outcome for you.

Did the midwife say this based on the NT measurement alone? If so this is utter BS.

Based on your screening results alone there is a 92% chance that everything will be ok from a chromosomal point of view. So yes 1;13 is ‘high risk’ but it’s not a definite and there is definitely not ‘only a 30% chance’ baby is ok, just from a maths POV shes off by a mile. A cvs will give you more answers.

How did other things look on the scan, could you see a nasal bone? Was there any additional fluid around baby? Xx

Yeah i think i see a nasal bone. But i dont have trained eyes to confirm. I dont see any fluids except for the one on baby’s back. Im scheduled for CVS this Monday. Please say a little prayer for me and my baby..
