Nuchal fold

2023-11-07 12:52:41
I am currently 19.5 weeks pregnant. During my level scan the nuchal translucency showed a normal range. I also had NIPT at the same time as a precautionary test in my & it showed low risk for trisomy 13,18,21. I had my level 2 anomaly scan & fetal echo & while all results are normal, nuchal fold shows 6.5m. The USG specialist said since NIPT was low risk, there was nothing to worry. Is 6.5 at approx 20 weeks a cause of worry?

Since your NIPT and anomaly scan are normal , nothing much to worry . Discuss in detail with your obstetrician.
