Nuchal fold?

Question

Just got my 20 week ultrasound, is 4.9mm nuchal fold normal? All my blood tests came back low risk but I won't see my doctor till next Monday and don't want to worry

Answer

I know for a fact that the ultrasound tech cant tell you anything regarding the issue as they are no experts and there have been a lot of lawsuits because of the difference in opinion. For what i have read about, the cut out is 6mm. Also take into consideration that the measurements on the ultrasounds is not always the exact measurements. The position of the baby, the amount of fluid and some other flukes can make things look bigger than they are. That is why sometimes we get a "it's a boy" when in reality is a girl or vise versa. Again i am not a doctor or expert on the subject, my comment is only base on what i have read online. But base on experience i know ultrasounds are not always acurate with measurement or gender.

Answer

My doctor said that after 13 weeks the nucal measurement is not actually any good at predicting any issues, which is why in the UK they check it at 12 weeks.

Answer

Ok good to know thank you!

Answer

They would have said if there was any concern at the time of your ultrasound.
