Pregnancy problem

Asked for Female, 39 years

I'm 12months pregnant with alive fetus but NT is increased up to 7mm. I have 3 normal daughters +1 miscarriage. The doctor just told me to do a triple screen test at 15th week and then she will decide what to do. I need doctors suggestions here as well plus I want to know its reason as well

Dear Patient,

She is giving you the right suggestion. Increased nuchal thickness signifies downs syndrome risk. Up to 3mm is normal. To rule it out and decide further course of action triple screen test is done therefore go as per your doctor's advice.

For further consultation, you can choose from our list of best Gynecologists in Lahore and seek in-person advice.
