Nuchal Translucency, Cystic Hygroma, NIPT Blood Test

This group is for women who have had alarming results during their pregnancy. A place where they can talk about what is going on and what their outcomes were. It is a safe space for women who have had miscarriages along with those who have decided to terminate their pregnancy due to medical issues. If I see any women being mean in an way I will remove you from the group.

Antenatal blood tests

Hello, 33 years old and my blood results from my 12 week scan came back 1 in 910 for Down syndrome I’m really worried. With my first the numbers were so much higher.

Pregnancy scans

Nt: 3.5 mm

Hi everyone,

I’m 33 and currently 13+3 weeks pregnant and my baby’s nuchal translucency (NT) measured 3.5 mm. The nasal bone was present, and the rest of the ultrasound looked normal according to the specialist. I also had an NIPT, which came back low risk.

I’m waiting for my follow-up appointment (fetal medicine unit on monday), but I’m feeling very anxious in the meantime.

Has anyone else had an NT measurement of around 3.5 mm with a low-risk NIPT? What was the outcome of your pregnancy? Did the NT resolve later, and was your baby born healthy, or did any other issues come up?

I’d really appreciate hearing your experiences. Thank you so much.

Just feeling very sad- genetic screening

I had my 12 week scan last Wednesday, the sonographer said everything looked normal baby looks healthy, no excessive fluid etc. I had my blood screening done after and was called into the hospital today. I was informed the Down syndrome was very low chance but edwards & pataus was 1/8 high risk. I’m going for the CVS in the next week and crossing everything that its not the case. The midwife today did reassure me on a positive note that this can be wrong, my baby could be completely healthy and it could be an issue with my placenta. My last baby was measuring small throughout and was born via semi elective csection (it was that or induction) at 37+6. Other than being on the small side he has been a very healthy happy baby with no problem. I’m just feeling abit heart broken as I know these conditions are tragic and have no quality of life if they survive 😔
