As the title says, I went for my NT scan today. But I left with possibly disheartening news. The babys NT was 4.4mm. I was told that anything above 3mm is cause for concern. They told me it could be nothing, but it could be a number of chromosomal abnormalities or genetic conditions and that I needed to go for NIPT and then possibly amniocentesis later on in the pregnancy. Although my perinatalogist doesnt apparently measure nasal bones, I did ask about it and was told that while the baby definitely has nasal bones, he or she has smaller than normal nasal bones. Has anyone else on here experienced this and everything turned out to be okay? If we have a child with Down Syndrome, I am prepared to love my child despite the challenges I know well have. But Im worried about the possibility of other anomalies that could be catastrophic and fatal for our child.
