Patient's question:
I am 12 weeks pregnant today and had an NTB ultrasound.1. Eye level, head biparietal diameter: 2.0 cm, femur length: 0.9 cm
2. CRL: 6.1 cm
3. Placental position: anterior wall, thickness: 1.0 cm, placenta grade 0
4. Fetal heartbeat visible, fetal movement visible, abdominal wall intact, limbs visible
5. Spine: unclear tail defect
6. Four-chamber heart structure unclear
7. NT value: 0.22 cm (normal range: within 0.25 cm)
The doctor recommended an NIPT (non-invasive prenatal testing) because it may affect the child's intelligence.
8. Amniotic fluid thickness: 2.9 cm
I just want to ask what would happen if I don't do the NIPT? Also, could you please take a look at this detailed ultrasound result and see if there are any issues?
Doctor's answer:
From the situation you described, if the prenatal screening for Down syndrome shows high risk, it is generally necessary to undergo non-invasive DNA testing for confirmation. Suggestions:1. Eat more fresh fruits, vegetables, and various vitamins during pregnancy.
2. Have regular prenatal check-ups.
3. Pay attention to the fetal heartbeat and fetal movement.
