My gynac wrote NT scan in my next appointment list and I keep reading it as NTS, honestly thoda confused hu. Im in my 12th week, can someone explain what they actually check in this na?
Actually, NT scan stands for Nuchal Translucency scan. My husband is a doc, and he always says this is one of the most crucial scans in the first trimester because it screens for genetic conditions early on. It's totally routine, so don't worry, just get it done in the recommended window of 11-13 weeks.
Its just the Nuchal Translucency scan done in the first trimester, dear. I remember being so nervous during my time, but it's a very standard test that everyone gets. Now my little boy is 2 and running around, so looking back, I realize we stress way too much over these routine scans.
NT scan checks the baby's neck thickness to screen for any developmental issues. Definitely don't skip it, and make sure you book it at a good diagnostic center. Most labs do it along with the double marker test anyway.
Hey, I just had my delivery 3 months back. NT scan is basically a simple ultrasound done around the 12th week to check baby's neck fold thickness. It's super important to rule out chromosomal issues, my doc got it done along with a double marker blood test.
Oh that 12-week scan feels like a lifetime ago, now that I'm in my 3rd trimester and can barely tie my shoes! It's basically a quick ultrasound to measure the fluid behind the baby's neck. Just get it done, it's nice to see the tiny dot actually looking like a baby for the first time!
My gynac has scheduled this for next week and honestly I am a bit nervous. Is it just a normal abdominal ultrasound or do they do a transvaginal one too? Hope everything goes well for u!
Oh even I was so confused when my doctor ordered this last month! It's just a scan to see if everything is developmentally okay with the baby. Did your doctor also advise a blood test with it? I was so scared till the reports came back normal.
With my PCOS history, I was extra cautious about every single test and didn't want to miss anything. This NT scan is typically done between 11 to 13 weeks to check the baby's neck fluid. Just follow your gynac's schedule properly, it really helps in keeping track of baby's growth.
