erin860 wrote:Hi again, I have another question for you. I had my first trimester screening today. The fluid at the neck looked perfect she said but she was unable to see the nose. She said in her report she was going to write that it was not detectable, not that it was absent. How common is this at 12 weeks to be unable to identify the presence or absence of a nasal bone? Thank you

You said to ask anything about ultrasounds so here is my "million" dollar question. From the 2 pictures I have here what would you say I'm having as far as the whole nub theory thing goes? the tech said the baby would not cooperate and he/she was moving around like crazy. The NT scan went great and she was able to find the nasal bone and that the baby looked normal and healthy at this stage.. Which is wonderful. I was just curious to what I was having in accordance to the pictures. I did have the Informaseq blood draw and I'm expecting the results next week. So that is exciting. Saying prayers that everything comes back normal and healthy. Anyway, take a look if you want and tell me what you think.
God Bless!!

I have a question about my ultrasound. This was at 12 weeks and 3 days ( 2 weeks ago), I have been looking and looking and can't figure out what that bright, white spot is by the legs? Do you have any ideas? It is in a couple of the shots, it's obviously not a leg or and arm(I think). I haven't seen it in other ultrasounds from other people, so of course it plants that little seed of concern. Thank you for your time!

So I just had my first ultrasound on the 28th, I believe I was 5w5d or 5w6d. While the Dr was doing the ultrasound we saw a gestational sac, yolk sac, and a tiny fetal pole. However she said she could not measure the sac because the Machine will only read 5w5d. My appointment was at 8am so I may not have technically finished the 5w5d all the way through.
Anyway I am a bit concerned but was wondering if this was normal or not? I know it is still early days.
Thanks so much!!

I was re-scanned at a major hospital and the nasal bone was present and the fluid was the correct amount. Whether the bone was there all along or prayer helped it grow, its there! I was pretty worried waiting to be rechecked but all is good. Thank the Lord!
