Brief Answer:
Nuchal translucency is normal.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Nuchal translucency is a collection of fluid under the skin at the back of your baby's neck. It is routinely measured during ultrasound between 11 to 14 weeks.
This can be increased in baby's with Down's syndrome or other chromosomal anomalies. This i snot related to IUI or using Siphene. It is more commonly performed if mother's age is more than 30 years.
An NT of less than 3.5mm is considered normal when your baby measures between 45mm (1.8in) and 84mm (3.3in)
In your baby's case it is normal. So you need not worry but do get a color marker test done to rule out any chromosomal anomaly.
Lifting heavy objects should be avoided as it can cause mild bleeding.
According to your LMP you have completed your first trimester on 15th April and your expected date of delivery will be 29th October 2016.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Brief Answer:
Details below.
Detailed Answer:
It is OK to take Fol 123 with Ecosprin at night.
You can add roohafza to the milk as per your taste. It has only small quantity of pineapple juice in it which is insignificant.
Right now you may not feel anything. But you will start feeling the baby movements after 18 weeks.
