Hey ladies, increased nt and no nasal bone at 12 weeks

I went for nt scan and found this result totally heartbroken, has anyone faced this - My Report: 1. Nuchal Translucency (NT): 5.3 mm 2. Nasal Bone (NB): Not visible/absent 3. ARSA: Present (soft marker, sometimes seen in healthy babies too). 4. Risk Ratios: • T21 (Down Syndrome): 1 in 2 (very high risk on screening) • T18 (Edwards Syndrome): 1 in 24 (increased risk) • T13 (Patau Syndrome): 1 in 374 (relatively lower #askmommies #Needadvice

I had this Nuchal Translucency too when I was pregnant with my 2nd boy. It was 67%. But I did not terminate my pregnancy. I cried almost everyday, and prayed all the time to God. Yes, it was devastating. But, when he was born, he was normal 100%. God heard my prayers and cries. I was very glad that I did not terminate my pregnancy. He is healthy and now turning 15 next year.

Hi TS, no I did not. Cos in my mind, whatever the results was, I will still keep my baby. Hope all goes well for u too.

Hihi Mummies, I faced this issue too, scans shows absent/low visualization of nasal bone and NT3.5mm. Doc wants me to do amniocentesis but the waiting of the results is torturing, thinking to seek for 2nd opinion and do NIPT. Not sure what should I do now
