NT Scan

This afternoon we had our NT Scan my weight was 97.0lbs and my blood pressure was 108/60. We already found out the results for our scan and everything came back in the normal range thankfully! The baby's heart rate was 180 bpm and still measuring about 4 days ahead.

 What is nuchal translucency?
  • Nuchal translucency is a collection of fluid under the skin at the back of a baby's neck. The nuchal translucency scan measures the thickness of this fluid to assess the risk of Down's syndrome. 
  • The nuchal translucency scan is usually advised in first time pregnancies, high-risk pregnancies and in pregnant women who are over 35 years of age.

Matt took these videos from our ultrasound... you can see in one of them the baby moving their arms around and rubbing their eyes! So sweet! We are already looking forward to our next appointment on September 3rd! Maybe we will even find out the gender then ;)
