Is Nuchal Fold Measurement Of 6.4mm Normal?
Hi, I m 20w+5 days; we went for our 20 wk scan yesterday. The sonographer was sharing our elation that the baby is a girl, but before we left she told us that our baby has a nuchal fold measurement of 6.4mm. I know the baby is flexed breech and was a little squashed, but the nurse we saw after, started talking about abortion and all the options. Should we really be so worried? We re seeing a fetal medicine consultant tomorrow, but are so scared after having bloods-1/1200 and 2 healthy boys already.
