has anyone else been told at first scan nuchal translucency measurement was elevated and gone on to have a healthy baby? my husband and I are scared to death as they say it's correlated with genetic disorders. we are 33 and healthy. 3rd baby and no family hx. seeking some answers.

I didn't have that happen but they had thought there was something wrong with my babys brain and I had to go for a ultrasound with maternal fetal medicine and they said he's fine, I think doctors like to overreact a lot I wouldn't worry yet

Yes this just happened to us at baby's 12 week scan! Neck measurement was 2.8 mm above average so baby was at a higher risk for genetic disorder. I am 29 so I was shocked!! Cried for days and was just a nervous reck! I received a genetic blood test and waited one week for the results which are extremely accurate. My baby girl has no chromosome or genetic disorders 🙏🏻 they have you worry to death for no reason!! Take the genetic blood test right away and try not to stress mama! I'm so glad you posted this I thought I was the only one.. Let me know if you have any questions 😊 I'm 18 weeks now and baby is totally healthy!

The waiting game is the worst :/ mine took 7 days exactly. You will also find out the gender which is a plus! 5mm is high but my doctor said he seen many cases of a high measurement and baby was fine. Sending positive thoughts your way.

that's for the reassuring story. my ob is sending us to maternal fetal medicine specialist tomorrow for repeat ultrasound and consult. fingers crossed.
