So, i had my scan today, 11 weeks 4 days. Was told theres 3.7mm fluid on the neck, and am now high risk of having a baby with downs or other chromosome abnormality. Then went to have further test and have to wait until next week to find out more, after that will have to have extra scans every 4 weeks to check heart etc. Anyone been through this? Anyone had similar amount of fluid but had a healthy baby? I have 2 little boys, 5 and 3, while pregnant with them i was fine, and not at all nervous or anxious about the scans, this time i sensed something wasnt right :( Am feeling so sad and scared right now. Also if anyones been through this did they give u a 'number' as to the likelihood of the baby having a problem..mine was 1/50...
 
My daughters top measurement was 3.4mm. I had a cvs and she was cleared. I was given a 1 in 20 chance of trisomy 13.
 
thanks for ur reply, glad ur lil girl got the all clear :) Waiting is the worst! So 1:50 is that not too bad? Cant stop googling!
 
Think of it this way, you have a 49 out of 50 chance that your baby is fine.
 
my bubba has a 9mm thickness and i find out on monday if anything is going on. i have been told everything from it could disappear to bubba won't make it. till all results are in i think i'm going to give him or her every chance and ignore all stats and say for now 100% chance
 
My youngest son had a measurement of 3.5 mm, though my bloods were fine, but they didn't seem concerned by his NT, I was! He was born perfectly healthy though. Hope you have a healthy LO x
