NT Scan Results

[Sewergrrl]

All normal results.

NT - 2.0 mm
Down Syndrome - 1:773
Trisomy 18/13 - 1:4241

I feel a lot of relief! I know things can still happen, but the Trisomy numbers were my main concern and they are very good.

I have a very active little bean in there! Rolling, dancing, jumping, and wiggling all over. HB was 159. The tech thinks it's a girl, but I will have to wait until 18 weeks to confirm.

Fabulous! You must be so relieved! Did you get all of these results as a result of your NT scan? I have one scheduled in the beginning of Oct., so I was just curious. How long did it take them to provide these results to you? Did you get them at the scan?

I had the blood work done a week prior, so they could give me all the results right after the scan. We met with a genetic counselor and she went through everything.

My last pregnancy I had the blood taken after the scan, so I was only told that the NT portion was normal. I received a phone call from the counselor about a week later. I assume if there were any problems then they would have had me come in to speak to them. I was 34 at that time, but 35 at delivery, but am unsure if that made a difference as to how they handled it. I do have a different OB this time.

If this is your first high-powered scan, you are in for a super special treat!! It's so awesome to see your baby look like a baby. I'm not overly emotional, but I had tears in my eyes when I heart the whoosh-whoosh-whoosh of the tiny heart.

Thanks for the info! I have mine scheduled for 10/4. I had a bunch of bloodtests done at my 7 week scan...so I don't know if they need to do more bloodtests at the NT scan??? I hope my results are as good as yours! FXed

 

[Sewergrrl]

I assume the blood work was already done for you, but I could be wrong. I only had blood taken once thus far at 10 weeks and will have another blood test in the 2nd tri, but I don't know what it's for. Maybe that's when I will have the glucose test? I forgot when I had it last time.

I had mine done in early August and came back as a 1:5 risk for Downs and a 1:35 risk for the other bad trisomy, due to the blood test (extremely low PAPP-a) and it scared the crap out of me. I ended up having an amnio done last week and got the results today - my baby is completely normal. I also have a friend who got a low risk result and their baby died upon birth due to a trisomy issue.

Just saying, this is all a numbers game, kinda feel like the lottery. Not fun. But wanted to chip in to let you all know if you get "bad" results it still doesn't mean there's anything wrong. I'm still at high risk for placenta problems but at least I know chromosomally, my baby is ok.

You're right - anything can happen. Thank goodness your baby is OK now. Fx that you have no problems with the placenta and you deliver full term and healthy!

great news and after seeing the dr today she said they do the NT test at the hospital I will be going to she thinks

 

[LadyAce14]

I had my NT scan at 10+4 and it was 1.51. I had my first blood draw that day also. They would've called with bad results. I go for my second blood draw Oct 7th and my level 2 scan on Oct 21. I will be so glad to get through all the testing and I'm hoping my results continue to be good.

Congrats on all of your happy results!

 

[Mabythistime]

Got my results back.

NT: 1.94 (that I got at the time of the scan)
DS: 1:5094

The other two tests were also great, but I cannot remember the actual figures. Baby is healthy and babies home is healthy too

I am so relieved and teary at the same time!
