Hi
Had my 12w scan yesterday. All normal . So happy.
Had the nuchal screening. She said the measurement was in normal range. My age is 40 but 41 when baby due puts me at 1:67 and need to wait for blood results which could change everything. Ok so Just got to wait til end of Friday for them to call if HIGH risk if no call I can safely presume I'm low. Then letter next week. Feel happy but roll on Friday to truly relax.
So my q is ... When I got home I read the summary of scan from the midwife sonographer and it says crown to rump measurement 59 . something mm and nuchal translucency measurement 12.30 mm. So i googled and it seems ridiculously high??? Seems like 1.2 is normal?
Am I being stupid? Has she mistyped? Im dated at 12w3d.. Don't want to ring and embarrass myself. Does a human at hospital put your screening data together? What if she has miskeyed and i come out as high risk by accident? Aargh mind racing xx
 
An NT of less than 3.5mm is considered normal when your baby measures between 45mm (1.8in) and 84mm (3.3in) (FASP 2010).

Sounds like it should be 1.2mm to me! Give them a ring or else you will only sit and sorry :) x

Yep im thinking mistype too. the midwife is at gps on Wednesday s so ive called and asked her to ring me to put my mind at rest
 
Midwife rang and said measurement will be normal for your babys size etc.they're all different. Ill just wait until Friday now
 
Definitely a mistake hun. 12mm is over a centimeter and that's almost as big as baby's whole head at the stage you're at. Seems to me it's supposed to read 1.23mm which is a completely normal result xXx
 
Im still thinking the same ! Im no carol vorderman but thats a fifth of the c-r length! I think the midwife at gps maybe didnt want to interfere. If I get a high risk result I'll definitely be looking into the details as would the hospital presumably. Hopefully its just the one sheet shes got wrong. She was a bit frazzled, running late ...i had to prompt her to confirm my dates!

So no phonecall re nuchal test by last night so finally relaxed..
Today joy of joy got the letter which I thought would be next week. Slightly alarmed to see it earlier though.
Didnt say much but low risk , estimate of 1:50000 so im over the moon.
Good luck and happy Christmas to everyone reading and especially anyone else in the same position.
Xx
 
Delighted for you Spannagal you can relax and enjoy Christmas now ☺ I am 39 will be 40 when baby arrives only 9 weeks pregnant so waiting for scans etc but midwife was v reassuring at my first appt saying loads of women wait til later to have babies now etc. Congrats again and all the best xx
