Does Normal NT Scan Indicate Low Risk Of A Miscarriage?
Question: Hi doc... wish u a happy ugadi...
i had my NT scan on thur and all looks good , god willing .
The old crumpled sacs are still to be resolved and they have a clot or SCH aroybd it . I again had an episode of more bleeding yest after it had reduced 5 6 days back to brown discharge.
now i have 2 questions .
1. My doc said rest until other sacs go away , and i might have such bleeding till those sacs are gone . My question is won't the loss of blood cause harm to me or my baby ? Although i m trying to eat lotta iron in my food i had a thot.
2. Secondly as my baby grows wont it push the clot and will there be aa possibility that i ll start bleeding more if it starts pushing ? Or as my baby's sac grow bigger won't the clot arnd old sacs harm my baby's sac ? I m a lot relieved after NT scan . But still some wher have some fear when i see blood quite often
3. Now that my 1st trimester is over and NT scan showed good results rates are miscarriage are low right ? Can i sit back and relax not worrying too much about my clot and bleeding episodes? Is there a slightest risk and something i need to take care apart from rest and nutritional food?

Brief Answer:
Congratulations on Normal NT scan
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Happy Ugadi to you too.
Congratulations on Normal NT scan. Good to know you have crosses majority hurdles.
Now to answer your specific questions:
1. Bleeding you see is very minimal compared to the total amount of blood in body. Body contains about 5 litres of blood.
Blood loss you have is few ml only. Hence not a major concern.
2. Old blood clots keep getting absorbed back into the system. Hence there is no question of pushing the old clot leading to excess bleeding. The old sacs are extremely small and they wont be seen after few weeks as present baby grows huge and presses other sacs. There wont be any bleeding after few more weeks.
3. Now you have crossed all hurdles and I dont see much problems here on. Just sit back and relax.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Regards
Dr. Mahesh Koregol
