Hi Cheryl,

Sending you positive vibes at this terribly difficult and anxious time. A lady in another thread (she's 41) had a nuchal measurement of 4.1mm - I think she was 1/37 risk.... she had amnio and all was fine - they thought her high measurement may be related to slow growth of her bub - but they were wrong - her bub is measuring ahead for dates. So no answers there, but a relief to know all was fine.

I don't want to scare you - but if you need any information re. cvs - I had one last August - when my nuchal measurement was 2.3mm which gave me a 1:36 chance for DS, then with combined bloods (which were bad) I ended up with a 1:10 risk - so went straight to CVS. It was such a horrible week, not knowing if the bub was alright or not. I felt ill all the time, sick with worry........ sadly it turned out my bub did have DS. I'm now pregnant again, and my nuchal was 1.3mm - a 1:1500 risk - I'm 39. So all is looking fine this time around. The nuchal measurement can be really misleading I think - you can have a high measurement and all is fine, or you can have a lower measurement and all is not fine.......... mine was really only the upper end of normal. Hang in there, and the chances are still way in your favour that all is perfect with your bub. As I said, I really feel for you, as I know firsthand what you are going through. If you want to pm me or ask me anything I'm happy to share.

Take care,
