We had our nuchal translucey scan and genetic screening done. Everything looked good on the scan and our results came back in the normal range. Before all the screening, they gave me the risks for our baby having a chromosonal abnormality just based off of my age. Those risks where as follows:
Down syndrome: 1/1040 chance
All chromosomal abnormalities (including downs): 1/500 chance
Our results came back with less risk that our baby would be born with those abnormalities:
Down syndrome: 1/2607 chance
Other trisomy syndromes: 1/10,000 chance
All in all, we are glad we did the NT scan because we got to see our healthy baby moving around, we saw the heart beat, and nothing appeared to be wrong. But at the same time, I was surprised that they weren't able to say "yes" or "no" to any issues. that is mostly my fault on not researching exactly what genetic testing entails. We definitely didn't regret doing it and we do have a better peace of mind that our baby is as healthy as can be.
Here are a few pictures of bug from the ultrasound. I was thrilled that they did a 3D picture!
