Good luck at your second u/s today. Hoping that measurements are in normal range and you can put your mind at ease. Thinking of you.

 Not an expert here but I also believe the fold measurement is not usually looked at at that point because it grows as the baby grows and the calculation they use for down syndrome screening has to be done between 11 and 13 weeks. Regardless, I had a high screen come back with my son and ended up doing an amnio...so I know how nerveracking what you are going through is. I hope the specialist has nothing but good news for you. 

This.

There are two different measurements that can be used--Nuchal Translucency is used at 11-13w6d, and has an upper limit of 3mm. The Nuchal Fold is used after that, up to 22wks, and has an upper limit of 6mm. So, at your scan, it is still considered a useful tool for DS screening. The nasal bone does look a bit smaller than I would expect on both of your images. IN the first image, babe has head tilted back a bit, so that can cause faulty measurements in the fold. If I had done your scan, I would recommend followup screening at a Maternal Fetal Medicine Clinic as well. I have done that before, and totally normal babies have resulted. However, I would not being doing my job if I did not flag this stuff. There are a few that come back positive for DS. At the next scan, they will do in depth measurement of the baby, and look at the heart in great detail. They will look for other "soft markers" for DS, and from there, you can make an informed decision whether or not to go ahead with an amnio etc. Good luck!

Thank you all for the thoughts and prayers. We went for the Fetal Echo and detailed ultrasound this afternoon at a different hospital. Very good news EVERYTHING measured normal!!! The sonographer today said they don't even measure the nuchal fold after 20 weeks and was confused at the fact that they measured it on Friday when baby was 20 weeks 2 days. They remeasured it today just for comparison and it was normal range!! Her heart looks great, all bones measured normal, and all organs look great. Her nasal bone is PRESENT and they said they don't measure the length they just check that it is there and it is so that is good. Needless to say I am SOOO glad I asked for second opinion and I am now more at ease that she is perfectly normal as far as they can measure. Thank you all :-)
