Nuchal Translucency Test

Just had an ultrasound at 12w4d, and the nuchal fold was "concerning" with how thick it was (in the upper range of 3mm). I'm 37 years old (this is my third child), and although I'm being told at this point we just need more info, I'm panicking a bit. For what it's worth, I don't know how accurate the measurement was, since getting baby at the right angle to catch the measurement in the first place was a struggle. Went for the blood work immediately after. Basically, anyone have positive outcomes and/or good vibes to send my way while I wait for the next 1-2 weeks for some results? We still haven't announced the pregnancy and acting normal is going to be impossible.

We had 3 markers for T18, went to genetic testing L2 ultrasound and high risk doctor and all was fine. 

My story has no bearing on your outcome, but hopefully all is good with your little one.

So glad things had a healthy outcome for you and yours! I appreciate knowing that it's possible to have a good outcome to help with the waiting, which is so difficult right now. I'm also hopeful because the ultrasound showed presence of a nasal bone, which is a good sign as far as Down Syndrome, getting us (again, I hope) into more favorable odds.
