What Does "nuchal Thickness 4.8mm" During Pregnancy Indicate?
Question: I'm 22 weeks pregnant having nuchal thickness 4.8mm ...yesterday itself had the tiffa scan and everything else given normal but surfing in web given me that its not safe to have that length plzz help
Brief Answer:
It is late to measure Nuchal thickness ( NT )
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Nuchal thickness has to be measured between 11 to 14 weeks only as it is not reliable after 14 weeks.
If you have had a scan during this time let me know what was nuchal thickness in that scan. It is more relevant . The present report of NT at 22 weeks is not to be considered important.
