Brief Answer:
Your NT report is normal.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Thanks for sending me your reports.
Your NT scan report is normal.
In first trimester pregnancy baby weight is around 14 kg( in your case twin pregnancy, so it is distributed between two).
You have to go for 2 nd level ultrasound at 19-24weeks of pregnancy.
Hope found useful.
Good luck.
