Is that the test where they measure the thickness in the back of the neck in the fetus ? That in conjunction with your I think AFP test should give you an accurate assessment. It sounds like everything is fine ! I know I worried too, best wishes to you !

Nuchal Translucency (NT). I would not worry about it if your doctor said everything was fine. The measurements vary by age of the fetus and has a range of 'normal' readings. There are other 'markers' that they look for, like the presence of a nasal bone, etc. Talk to your doctor if you are still concerned, he/she knows your situation the best.

I understand ... try not to worry and enjoy your pregnancy. Congrats!
