A member asked:

Nuchal thickness 9.2mm in 28 wks is it down?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possible: A nuchal thickness of greater than 6 mm is associated with Down's syndrome. This is just a screening tool, however, and does not mean the baby has it. you need to talk with your OB about further testing.
