Has anyone been told that their baby had a thick Nuchal Fold on the anatomy scan? Did everything turn out okay? I have another ultrasound and genetic counseling on Thursday but I am freaking out a little! All my blood work was good and we had genetic counseling last time (for fertility issues) and we are at low risk for everything. Could she just be a chubby baby?
Thanks. They did two ultrasounds on me first but they said it was because they couldn’t get all the pictures they needed so I would hope they checked the neck twice. I am hoping she is just chunky. I have gestational diabetes so the babies tend to be larger.
@lincolnsmommy18, no but I will ask more questions on Thursday. The phone call thru me off. I did not know what to say.
@blessed2018w9, @lacondesa, @j.family1215, thanks ladies! I am hoping everything is fine my best friend just went through this and her daughter is a healthy 3 month old! It’s just stressful!
I had an abnormal trisomy 13 and my nuchal translucent measured normal. Had an amniocentesis done at 18 weeks and my baby was perfectly fine. Now he is 2 months old and thriving.
My sons nucal fold measured thick the dr told us. She sent us to a specialist and I had another ultrasound done and come to find out it was just because he was chubby. So sometimes I wish they didn’t freak everyone out thinking something could potentially wrong when it could be something as little as a baby just having more neck fat. The specialist said that the ob should have waited and done another ultrasound a week after my first to check on it again.
