NT Scan tomorrow. I am so nervous

[Sewergrrl]

Good luck on your tests today Mabythistime and to you as well babyhopes for yours in October.

Jo, if you haven't been 35 at/near the time of delivery, than some OB's (or Midwives) don't refer you for the NT test and the other genetic abnormalities that can be found early via blood/ultrasound. You may or may not have the test this time. It's really up to your doc. Well and you too, as you don't have to have the testing. For me, most of it was "what am I going to do with a number if it's high risk?" Pretty much nothing except for the trisomy 18/13, which could require some difficult decisions.

Glad it is over. It ended up being a very nice experience..Although I have not received the results, I managed to peak the measurement. 1.94mm. Everything else was perfect. Baby was kicking, stretching and waving.

The lady that did the scan even included a bit of 4D as well.

Will get the numbers on Monday probably. Baby measures 12w6d.

Whoo hooo!

I had my NT scan last Wednesday and had tears streaming down my face throughout. It was too wonderful to see my twins kick and wave! My tech gave me the measurements and they are noted down in my maternity record as well. I did see the nasal bones so I didn't ask about them especially but the tech said all looked totally fine to her. The measurements were 1.7 for twin A and 1.4 for twin B. Does this sound ok? I am 41. Oh and I too was told that if there was a problem they would call me within the next few days but if all was ok I'd get a letter within the next 3 weeks. I haven't heard from them so far so fingers crossed

Hi girls, had my nt scan last week all went well, i wascompletely petrified but had a lovely scan, bubs nuchal fold was 1.6mm and ive just got results back at 1 in 50,000 for downs.

Good luck to anyone waiting to go for scans, am sure you will be fine....big hugs xx

I dont know alot about these scans but will be having one done as Im 38. What measurements are classed as OK? Im already worrying about this and Im not even 7 weeks yet.

My NT scan is this coming wednesday the 19th of October and of course nervous as heck. Prescan the ob said my odds of down's was 1/300 and he didnt mention the rest.. or maybe I didn't hear him lol I've had a pretty rough start to this pregnancy from a botched ultrasound at 10 weeks telling me they saw a 7 week sac and that I had miscarried, only to get a " real" scan done 4 days later to see a very healthy happy wiggle bean with a great HB. Soooo I'm keeping my fingers crossed all goes well

Sunshine I cannot tell you exactly what is deemed ok and what isn't. I know my measurements of 1.4 and 1.7 were considered good and normal. If you want a bit more info on the scan and the blood tests this website seems quite informative. Good luck
