Kitt3n, can I ask were there any other implications for you/your baby of the NT measurement?

Our baby measured an average of 6 across the nuchal fold and we've been told this pretty much means something is wrong. We've ruled out all the trisomies and chromosomal defects through CVS and are now waiting for a 16wk ultrasound to check for heart defects. Even if this is clear apparently it could still be something.

We've only got a 1 in 10 chance of a healthy baby. So disheartening to be faced with stats like that.

Tina, I have been where you are, sort of. We were faced with a 1 in 20 chance of DS. This has now been ruled out but as I said above our Obs is still saying we've only got a 1 in 10 chance of a healthy baby.

DH and I are stressed out of our minds - for us, the best way we are dealing with it is by talking to each other and trying to focus on the good. We're praying a lot and we have a lot of prayer warriors on our side, praying for the 1 in 10 chance of healthy baby.

I have no idea what we will do if the 16 week u/s finds something serious.

Oh and I agree, CVS is awful and painful. I hurt for a week afterwards... sneezing, bending, DH cuddling me too tight, everything hurt.

Big for you... wish I could help more. Feel free to PM me if you want to chat or anything... I definitely know the swag of emotions you are experiencing.
