Nuchal Translucency Test Results Posted: 02-07-08 20:21pm


I just had my first trimester nucal translucency test today and read the info. that the technicial wrote down after the test. It showed that my baby has a nuchal translucency of 1mm and the baby's length from crown to rump is 56mm. I am 39 years old and the gestational age of the baby is 12 weeks/1 day. Can anyone tell me if this is normal?

Hi there I'm also 39 years old and 12 weeks today. I go for my NCT scan next week...I found this info online for you. Your results look normal. "An NT measurement of up to 2.0mm is normal at about 11 weeks, and up to about 2.8mm by 13 weeks and 6 days. This is because the NT normally grows in proportion to the growth of the baby" htt p://www.babycenter.ca/pregnancy/ref/nuchal translucency/#8

As long as the NT is under 3mm at any time we consider it normal, unless it is in the upper limits (2.9mm) and there are other obvious abnormalities.
