My nuchal transluncency scanning was last Thursday and thankfully the diameter of the of the fluid in the neckfold was within normal parameters. Baby was so cute bouncy all around. In addition to the ultrasound, I had a blood work drawn to complete the first trimester screening. Results came back today and further decreased my risk of both Trisomy 18 and Trisomy 21. I was so happy to receive that call as when you look at the statistics for a 39/40 year old women they are NOT pretty.
Since the screening is back with good results, we are not planning further diagnostic testing at this time. We will revisit the need to do so when we complete the screening for spina bifida and the anatomy ultrasound later in the second trimester.
I love getting good news...here is a belly photo from a couple of weeks ago ~ I cannot believe how quickly I just popped out this time.
