Would you be worried? If you had a less than 1 in 100,000 chance of down sydrome but nasal bone not detected..

Question

on ultrasound. No other markers. Didn't have amnio. I am 6 mths pg and still worry that something is wrong.

Answer 1

Its normal to vvorry but i'd say you have nothing to vvorry about. Just try to relax and not think about it, stressing over it vvont change anything.

Answer 2

I would worry about them not being able to detect a nasal bone whether down syndrome or not. But, as long as your baby is doing well in the womb I wouldn't be concerned. I would definitely want the doctor to do all the ultrasound scans he could to figure out the cause, and look for others in a similar situation. Good luck, and I hope everything turns out okay.

Answer 3

I am assuming that your Quad Screen came back with a higher % chance of the baby having downs.  That's why they did a level 2 U/S.   If so, that's exactly the same as what I went through.  I had the same % after the U/S was done and I refused an amnio as well.  My daughter is now a month old.. and she is perfectly fine.  Not saying that I didn't stress over it for a few weeks afterwords, but eventually I stoped stressing.  Stress is not good for you and the baby.
