Nuchal Fold Scan and First-Trimester Combined Screening

Today we had an ultrasound to assess Two's risk of having Down syndrome and some other chromosomal abnormalities as well as major congenital heart problems: the tech measured the clear space in the tissue at the back of Two's neck at about 1.0 mm, which she said is about as good as it gets!*

The first-trimester combined screening looked good, too!
