Absent nasal bone meaning

I did my 20 week scan and they told me that the nasal bone is missing which could be a sign of down syndrome. I did the harmony test and there it said I have a lower probability of having that. I am not sure what to do at moment and I'm quite worried. Is there anyone who was in a similar situation? Please let me know. 🙏

Hi, totally understand your worries. I did my scan at week 21 recently and for mine they mentioned that the nasal bone is short, which is a soft marker for down syndrome. I did the harmony test as well and it's low risk as well. My gynae suggested amniocentesis which is invasive and we went ahead with it just to have a peace of mind. Results came back all good and we are keeping the baby. Perhaps check with your gynae for more advice first and don't stress yourself out too much. All the best to you mummy!

Sorry to hear that. From my aunt’s experience, doc told her to terminate pregnancy due to suspected DS from the scan. Luckily she didn’t, her kid is perfectly fine and is already in primary school. Wishing you all the best!! 💪🏻💪🏻
