It’s a common question for expecting parents 🤍

The NT scan isn’t a routine quick scan. It requires patience, precision, and perfect timing 🎯 to capture the most accurate measurements of your baby 🫶

✨ A little extra time helps ensure reliable results because accuracy matters ✔️

During an NT scan, the sonologist carefully checks: 👶 Your baby’s exact position 💧 The clear fluid behind the baby’s neck 📏 Precise measurements in millimetres

👣 Babies move a lot! Sometimes we wait for the perfect angle and posture to get a trustworthy reading 📸

🛡️ Your baby’s safety always comes first

A low-risk NT scan result means your baby has a lower chance of chromosomal conditions, such as Down syndrome. It’s a reassuring sign that early development is progressing well 💗

✨ What a Low-Risk Result Tells You ✔ NT thickness is within the normal range ✔ Screening suggests reduced probability, not zero risk ✔ In most cases, no immediate invasive tests are needed ✔ Routine pregnancy care usually continues

🔍 Why Combine Tests? NT Scan + Marker Blood Test = ✅ The most reliable first-trimester screening

🧠 Plan both. Screen smart. Stay reassured.

➡ What’s the Next Step?

Continue regular antenatal check-ups

Follow your doctor’s advice for further scans or blood tests

Remember: Screening gives information, not a diagnosis

Don’t panic. Let’s understand this simply 🌿

Along with the NT scan, a blood test called the Dual / Double Marker Test is done 🧪

This test checks two markers:

Free β-hCG

PAPP-A

Yes, it is possible for some pregnant women to have a normal NT scan but an abnormal marker blood test 🤍

If only the double marker blood test shows increased risk while the NT scan is normal,

It does not mean 100% confirmation that the baby has a chromosomal abnormality ❌🧬 The NT scan alone detects about 70% of cases 📊

In such situations, the doctor may advise additional tests such as NIPT, CVS, or amniocentesis to further assess the risk 🧬🔍

In such cases, don’t panic 💙 Consult your doctor and consider genetic counselling. It can help you understand the report and guide you on the right test going forward 🤝✨

Is NT Scan Mandatory During Pregnancy? 🤰❓

No, it’s not mandatory… But it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED by doctors ✔️

💡 Because early knowledge = better care for your baby.

Why is the NT Scan important? 🧬

✔️ Screens risk for chromosomal conditions ✔️ Assesses early fetal development ✔️ Helps identify potential complications early ✔️ Gives parents peace of mind ❤️

📅 Best Time: 11 weeks – 13 weeks + 6 days

Your Choice Today Can Shape a Healthier Tomorrow 🌱

✨ NT Scan is optional, ⚠️ But missing it means missing early insights.

What Happens If the NT Scan Is Done Late? ⏰🤰

Timing matters more than you think in pregnancy scans 🩺✨ Missing the right window can mean missing vital information about your baby’s health 👶💙

NT Scan after 13 weeks 6 days may not be reliable ⚠️

Nuchal translucency naturally reduces after this stage 📉

Risk assessment for chromosomal conditions may not be accurate 🧬

Important early markers can be missed ❌🔍

That’s why doctors recommend NT scan between 11–13 weeks 6 days ✅🗓️
