NT scan last night and no nasal bone?!

[Andypanda6570]

Typically- along with absent nasal bone and down syndrome is also a very flat nose. That is very characteristic in downs and the ultrasounds I've seen. Clearly your LO has a cute nose- that doesn't look flat in the slightest bit to me.

A flat forehead is also typical in Down Syndrome, as is a flattened back of head. I only found these things out after giving birth to my son who has DS and was diagnosed at birth after a 1 in 560 false negative result. I can see the obvious flattened facial profile looking back at his 12 week scan but was clueless at the time so didn't know what I was looking for.

Your scan picture doesn't look unusual to me.

If you want to see my 12 week scan picture (the one from this pregnancy is also next to it for comparison) have a look at this thread, post number 37, about halfway down page 4:

Good luck with everything, I hope that all is well.

LOL, Now I love the new avatar one as well..

I have no idea but I didnt want to read and run, my sonographer didn't even mention anything about the nasal bone but then again I didn't believe I was pregnant till my fourth scan so I was in a bit of a daze. Honestly try not to worry, your NT result was the same as mine and my baby was put as 1:35000. I hope everything is ok keep me updated. Thinking of you and bump. Stay strong x
