Absent Nasal bone

Hi guys, so I had my 20 week ultrasound and the nasal bone was absent. I've since had another ultrasound to confirm this. I'm still considered low risk for Downs Syndrome because I did a harmony test at 10 weeks and that was low 1 in 10,000.
Has anyone been through this before ? Any advise. I'm feeling a bit lost and dont know of I should do the amniotic fluid test to test for other chromosome disorders.
Thanks in advance.

  • Thank you. This is exactly my issue. 
    I have not had it explained to me other disorders which an absent nasal bone maybe associated with, all they seemed conserned with is downs syndrome.
    And how to test for these other disorders. I have an appointment in friday, where ill be asking for the change in hospital and also more in depth with other disorders. 
  • I'm so glad you'll be seeing the doctor again very soon. A good high risk OB and/or genetic counselor should be able to answer all your questions and help you decide what your next steps should be.

    Waiting for your first appointment with the specialists is SO HARD. But between now and then, please remember that your baby might be perfectly fine. I'll be thinking of you!  Please come back and give us an update.
