I had my 12 week appt. today and that included the NT scan. I had a feeling something was up when the sono tech took forever (I had 2 babies before and don't remember it taking that long). Plus she kept doing the same thing over and over.
When my doc sees me in the exam room after, my heart sank as he looked long and hard at the print-outs. Then he said the good news was that the baby was growing on schedule. The bad news was that the NT scan showed that the thickness they measure at the neck increased dramatically since my last visit (at 9 weeks). He didn't sugar coat it, it doesn't look good. I was immediately scheduled for a CVS testing and go Friday. I am 39 if that makes a difference.
While he said that he's seen some cases where it turns out to be nothing, he also told me that I need to prepare myself in moving forward with decisions once we get the results.
I am a mess. I know that nothing will be known until I get the results back from the CVS, but I still can't help to think of the worst.
I believe in prayer and hope you'll keep me in your thoughts as I go through with this. Thanks!
