Worried about NT from private scan picture

Had a private scan at 10+6 and saw a very lively baby jumping around! When I got the picture I immediately got worried that the fluid round the back of the neck looks like quite a lot?? I don't have my 12 week scan for another week which is when they measure it. So would the private scan have been too early for that, nothing was mentioned at the time. Please be kind, I just feel so anxious this pregnancy.

Honestly? Even people with loads of training need to use specialist equipment to measure stuff like this-they can't do it just by looking. Try not to worry. It's not long til your proper scan.

I wouldn't worry about anything from a still photo that wasn't flagged up by a trained eye looking at a moving image.

Also, I can't remember my numbers but I had my NIPT at 10-11 weeks which included a scan and the doctor commented then that the NT measurement would be taken when I went for my official 12 week scan as it would be different then (even just a week or 2 later)

Hi yes, at 12 week scan the NT was 1.9 so perfect!! I had no reason to panic at all!
