Patient's question:
Pregnant for 13 weeks, the examination shows that the thickness of the nuchal translucency in the fetus is greater than the normal range, NT 3.5mm, what should I doDoctor's answer:
Hello, generally after pregnancy, NT screening can be done through a color ultrasound between the 11th and 13th weeks. It can preliminarily rule out the possibility of malformations. If the NT value is elevated, the possibility of malformations is higher, and further tests are needed. If the NT value is within the normal range, it indicates that the fetus is developing well and the possibility of malformations is lower. Buy some vegetables and fruits that are different from usual to broaden your nutritional sources. The most important nutrients during this period include vitamin D, fatty acids, and DHA, which are crucial for the development of the baby's brain and eyes. Fish and seafood are the best sources of these nutrients.
