Hello doctor. Doctor, can you tell me if a nuchal translucency of 0.8 to 0.9 mm is considered normal? Thank you for your advice.

Hello doctor! I am 12 weeks and 2 days pregnant. I had an ultrasound and the nuchal translucency was 1.2 and I also did a Double test. The result I received was an increased risk of Down syndrome, the ratio is 1:172. I did another NIPT test, but the results will take 7 more days.

had the NIPT test at 9 weeks. Doctor, if I have done the NIPT test, do I still need to measure the nuchal translucency?

12 weeks of pregnancy is an important milestone in the formation process and is the appropriate stage to perform basic tests to determine whether or not there are abnormalities in the fetus as well as the health status of the mother. There are 20 tests that every mother needs to do when the baby is 12 weeks old.

Double Test is a screening test using Biochemistry tests and measuring nuchal translucency by ultrasound, to assess some risks of Down, Edward or Patau syndromes in the first trimester of pregnancy.

Double test prenatal screening test helps assess the risk of the baby having birth defects. So what is the normal result of Double test prenatal screening test?

Healthy women between the ages of 35 and 40 can still have safe pregnancies and give birth to healthy babies. However, genetic screening before and during pregnancy for pregnant women aged 35 and over has many benefits.

Double test is one of the routine screening tests, recommended for all pregnant women to screen for common chromosomal disorders in the fetus such as Down, Edwards and Patau syndromes.

Nuchal translucency measurement is a necessary and important test for mothers during pregnancy. Nuchal translucency measurement results will help doctors diagnose the risk of birth defects in the fetus. So how can nuchal translucency be measured?

Measuring nuchal translucency is a necessary and very important task in monitoring the development of the fetus. Usually in the 11th-14th week of pregnancy, the pregnant mother will be instructed by the doctor to measure nuchal translucency. Based on the results of the nuchal translucency measurement, the doctor will make a diagnosis of the condition of the fetus. If the results are abnormal,

By week 10, your baby’s eyes, nose, mouth, and even fingers and toes have clearly formed. At this point, you may also need a nuchal translucency test to assess your risk of Down syndrome, other chromosomal abnormalities, and congenital heart problems.
