Increased Nuchal Translucency With Septations Posted: 09-25-07 12:22pm
I am 13 weeks and 5 days pregnant, and
I'll be 32 on my due date of 3/27/08.
Yesterday, I had the NT scan ultrasound
which showed an increased nuchal
translucency measurement of 3.1 to 3.4 mm,
with possible septations, which looked
like several little dividing lines across
the nuchal fold. If I use a formula I
found online, I calculate that there is a
64-71% chance of an uncomplicated
pregnancy and healthy baby - but I don't
know how the possible septations affect
those odds. The doctor said it could be
nothing, or it could be Turner's Syndrome.
I have an appointment with a genetic
counselor, where I will have the blood
test done, in 3 more agonizing days. They
will also do a high resolution ultrasound
at that time. I expect they are going to
tell me I should have an amnio, which
means I am facing 2-3 weeks of anxiety and
worry. I think I would find it easier to
face if I could get a better idea of what
my baby girl's (the technician said she
was 80% sure it was a girl) chances are of
being OK. Can you help?

that I hope everything turns out ok.

hun dont get stressed ok
i know its scary to think something may be
wrong but you have to stay calm and dont
stress because thats not good for you or
the baby
your doctor is right
it could be something or it could be
nothing
your just going to have to hang in there
and wait for the test and results
