Hello,
You have said that its the 12th week of your pregnancy and your scan reveals nuchal thickness 2.7 mm. Also there is mention of abnormal chromosomes.
I suggest you discuss in detail with your doctor and askhim further options and necessary workup.
The neck thickness is not very high though. Its the abnormal chromosomes which need confirmation.
If you desire, please consult any fetal medicine specialist near you.
Hope this helps.
