NT scan - what were your measurements?

I went for my NT scan today. Unfortunately, they couldn't complete the testing since my baby is a little less than 45mm. The sonographer was very nice. She printed some pictures of my baby for me. I was able to see the 5 defined toes, a nice heartbeat, and s/he being juggly all the way. I am due back for the scan next week. As of today, I am 11weeks1day pregnant and my baby's CRL was 43.7mm. What were your measurements? Just curious to know!

Hmm.......I think at my scan at 13wks the baby was about 7.5cms long.

I had my scan on Monday at 12w3d and bubs CRL was 6.9cm which they said was measuring at 13w1d so a bit bigger than where I'm actually at. I'm sure your bub will catch up in a week. :) I'm interested now...did they say what size bub has to be before they can take all the measurements?

At 12W 1d (yesterday), my baby was 5.4cm, and they did the NT scan fine.

I think 11 weeks is too early for that scan, though, isn't it? I guess lots of people get caught by that, if they are out in their dates a little.

The sonographer told me that when I go back next week, my bub should be much larger than 44.2mm. Apparently, in order to do the NT scan with the appropriate results, the bub needs to be at least 45mm which mine is a little shy from that. Oh well, I guess I get to see my bub twice this trimester! Yay, at least, seeing that my baby was doing great inside gave me some reassurance!

Had my NT scan today. Finally, I waited all week for today to come. It has now come and gone. I am 12w2days so 1 day off from what I calculated. My bub is doing well. It took me 1 hour 15 minutes to get the whole scan done because bub was moving too much. Well, s/he is now 5.6cm. Although it took a long time, i did not mind since I get to see bub for a much longer time than I was expecting. At least now, I can tell myself that bub is doing fine inside me despite the horrible backache that I've been experiencing.
