We went to a specialist due to the tiny nose of our baby. Basically, baby does have its nosal bone (but the nose looks a bit small and flat in ultrasound). But they could not get any 100% profile shots since the baby was moving too much. All organs etc looks great the only marker for down syndrome is the little nose. Otherwise everything looks perfect and baby is growing well also.

We saw the nosal bone at 12 week scan, as well as 18 weeks (but small/flat). We did a trisomy testing at 12 weeks as well with the result for trisomy 21 being 1:1731. After the specialist appointment we did the NIPT testing and are now waiting for the results.

Just wanted to hear your thoughts on this. I have attached the latest scans as well as a picture of me when I was little where you can see I had a pretty small nose. Could it be genetics? My baby daddy also had a tiny nose as a baby…

Has anyone had one soft marker for down syndrome but turned out the baby did not have it?

Is the 1:1731 not a good result to trust from the 12 w scan?

Did your baby have trisomy 21? If so, when and how was it discovered? Did you have more than one soft marker? Could you tell from the ultrasound? Did you do the NIPT?

I have a million questions - hopefully you guys can help! 🙏🏼❤️

If your baby has DS can you please put their ultrasound pics in the comments - would love to see them 😍❤️
