Nuchal Fold and Nasal Bone measurements at 20 weeks

On my 20 week scan report all of the measurements (head, femur etc) are given as absolute figures and are also plotted in relation to the normal mean and 5th - 95th centile.

The measurements for nuchal fold and nasal bone are given as figures, but not plotted.

I didn't have a nuchal fold scan and I asked my consultant not to tell me about any soft markers.

So I'm getting a bit paranoid about it. Can anyone shed any light on it?

Thanks

The FMC did the nuchal fold at my 20 week scan - it was 3.5mm which was exactly on the 50th centile. The nasal bone wasn't measured but was there.

(I didn't have the nuchal at 12 weeks either)

Thanks. That's what mine measured too.

I spoke to the midwife and she said it was fine too!
