NT scan yesterday

wheelber · May 2011

We had our NT scan and genetic counseling yesterday... I was SO nervous going in... with my age & previous losses.... but it was AMAZING!!!! I drank a huge glass of OJ before I went in and the baby was super active. The ultra sound tech kept saying that it was a beautiful baby, everything looked perfect & she can't believe how cooperative it was. The fluid measured 1.6cm (anything below 3 is low risk) and the nasal bone was present.... whew!! The nurse said she'd call by the end of the week with the blood results & risk ratios. The tech was also questioning my due date, she said that it was measuring 6 days ahead (11/11/11). But she couldn't change it because we are positive of the conception date with the IUI.

Oh, and when I asked about the "angle of the dangle", the tech said "what are you thinking? BOY?", which is exactly what I thought that I saw too. It was sticking straight up! I know it's way to early to confirm, so we'll have to see in 4 weeks if that theory holds true. LOL

It all is starting to seem real to me now!!!! We're really having a baby!!!!!

Woo hoo! This post has made my day!!
So funny because before I got to the "angle of the dangle" part I thought to myself, "I bet its a boy!" My son was cooperative at every u/s and test... This little girl? Not so much. For some reason in my circle of friends.... The boy baby's are always easier with the u/s!!
SO thrilled for you... I can't even imagine how over the moon you guys are!

Congrats on a good NT Scan and as for the 'angle of the dangle' our tech was correct at The Christ Medical Center. When I look back at DS2's NT scan pictures it holds true too.

Good Luck!
