Hi doctor,
I had the NIPT test at 9 weeks. The doctor asked me if I did the NIPT test, do I still need to measure the nuchal translucency? Thank you doctor.

Hello,
With the question “Do you need to measure nuchal translucency after having done the NIPT test? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
First-trimester screening includes issues that are fetal morphological ultrasound including nuchal translucency measurement (from 12 weeks to 13 weeks and 6 days) and laboratory tests. maternal blood (Double test or NIPT).
You had the NIPT test at 9 weeks, you still need fetal morphometric ultrasound and nuchal translucency at 12 weeks. If these results are good, you should pay attention to continue ultrasound monitoring fetal morphology at 22 and 32 weeks to ensure a healthy pregnancy.
If you still have questions about measuring nuchal translucency, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
