Today i went for my 2nd scan to see if my baby has the risk to be down syndrome. i was very excited to see the baby and didn't expect him to grow so much, double in fact.. he's now 67.4 mm wow! Saw him bouncing up and down non stop, waving his hands and even sticking out his tongue! so cute..Doc measured the fluid behind his neck and it's 1.7mm which is normal. Anything below 2mm is normal.. Now i have to wait for the blood test that will be out in 2 days to confirm the risk.. so am keeping my fingers crossed. Will be seeing the doc next on 27 april...
If you are wondering what Nuchal Translucency Down's Syndrome Screening is.. pls read below
A nuchal translucency ultrasound measures the fluid at the back of a baby’s neck between 11 and 14 weeks of pregnancy.All babies have some fluid there, but babies with chromosome abnormalities such as Down syndrome, Trisomy 13, and Trisomy 18, tend to have an unusually high amount.
The most common explanation for a higher fluid level is some variation in normal development, but it can also indicate heart defects and certain rare genetic syndromes.
