CRL ~ Is My Baby Just Big?

[MamaK]

Thanks Alan & Kelly for that. I figured that was the case, but seeing this is the first time for me for having this early scan, I was just curious. I will see what my 19wk scan says about length.

DS was 52cm at birth, so maybe this baby will just be long and lanky!!!

For your NT scan you have to be in between certain dates (something like 11-13 weeks not exactly sure you'll have to look it up) anything after those days they cannot get an accurate measurement of your baby's nuchal translucency. So one day will make a difference with these measurements.

Hi Tanya,

Our NT screening here in SA is to be done between 10wks and 13w6d. I had the u/s at 13w4d which is when the Ultrasound Place booked me in for and they knew I would be that far along. The scan suggested 13w5d so I still fit into the category for the screening, but the guidelines for the CRL of the baby omitted us. Ah well, I'm kind of not stressing so much about it now, I was just a little concerned I guess because I know the 2nd trimester screening can not be as accurate as the 1st trimester screening but thats the way the cookie crumbles I guess! I'm just happy that its a nice lil (long) sticky bub!!!!

Thanks for all the info guys.

Love & Hugs
