Good luck. My son had a prominent nuchal fold and after a consult with a specialist he had 4 soft markers for Down syndrome. We had the blood work done but decline the amniocentesis. The blood work came back with a slim chance of any genetic disorders. He’s now a very healthy and spunky 2 yr old!
Nuchal Transparency
I went in for an emergency ultrasound today due to heavy bleeding. The bleeding stopped, baby was alive and well. The Dr then called me with the ultrasound results and let me know the nuchal transparency was very prominent. They want me to do the genetic testing I had originally declined. I am so nervous and heart broken. They did not give me the measurement. I plan on asking today when I call. I am 10 weeks 4 days.

Just to give everyone an update, I talked to the genetic testing office yesterday. They want me to come in Feb. 15th. They said Friday is too early to be accurate and it could be why my ultrasound from 2 days was showing this measurement. I looked it up and the earliest they like to test is 11 weeks but prefer 12 to 13+6. I was only 10 weeks when they did mine 2 days ago. Which they were not doing the NT scan, it was an emergency scan due to bleeding but the thickness was there. I feel much better about this now but will be ready to find out for sure on the 15th!

Hoping for the best, keep us updated
Just looking to see if you have an update? I had similar at 9 weeks 3 days

I just went and actually reread the whole post. We went to a bigger hospital for genetic ultrasounds which showed it was measuring pretty large. We also had to do fetal echo cardiagrams to check for heart defects. I never did the blood work and just waited it out. From my precious reply, he is 100% fine and super smart.

Thank you so much for the update. I've just booked the panorama test for Monday so I guess we will know for sure in the next week. Your update has given me hope though x

He was born perfectly fine! Almost 3 years old and just a normal rough and tumble little boy! I spent my whole pregnancy stressed out something was going to be wrong with him. It's so hard. I will pray for your situation ❤
