I went to get my ultrasound at 11 weeks and they offered to screen for Trisomy 21, and I said yes. My OB sat me down afterwards and told me nothing on the ultrasound stood out and baby looked healthy, but the told me she was scheduling I come back in another week for another ultrasound because the couldn’t get a good look at baby’s neck to determine if there was any signs of Down Syndrome. However she then told me that baby’s nasal bone wasn’t very easy to see either. She told m there was nothing to worry about and that they just wanted to screen again. However after my appointment I googled what the nasal bone meant, and now I know that it’s typical in babies with Down Syndrome.

Has anyone had an ultrasound of their baby where the nasal bone was missing or hard to see, and their baby not have Down Syndrome?

I have my next ultrasound scheduled and already got my blood test done to check, but my anxiety has been very high.

Here is a picture of baby.

Blood test came back and baby tested negative for all chromosomal abnormalities and cystic fibrosis. We went to a high risk specialist and baby was screened for the measurement of the nuchal translucency and baby looks good and we could get a good look at nasal bone and it is very visible! I will go back for my anatomy scan, but from the looks baby does not have Down Syndrome.
