NIPT and NT scan test

Has anyone had their nipt and nt done? What’s the normal range for nbl?

I've had both done, and honestly the NT scan was pretty straightforward! From what I've gathered, the normal range for nuchal translucency is generally below 2.5 to 3.5 mm depending on your gestational age and which percentile your clinic uses, so there's a bit of a window there rather than one strict number. The NIPT is the blood test that screens for chromosomal issues, and that's usually just a waiting game for results rather than something you see measured in real time like the ultrasound. A few mums I know have mentioned that different clinics here in Singapore sometimes use slightly different thresholds, so it's worth asking your doctor what their specific normal range is and what your measurements came back as, that way you're comparing apples to apples and can understand where you sit. Definitely worth checking with your own doctor or specialist too, since they'll have your full picture and can explain what any findings mean for you specifically!
