A member asked:
13week us says posterior placenta low lying nuchal thickness 1.5mm dr. advised downsyn screen blood test. very afraid. may my baby have any disorder?

Nuchal thickness: Everyone gets offered the quad test screening for down's, trisomy 18 and spina bifida. Its actually a very good test. An increased nuchal thickness is associated with increase risk of Down's syndrome, but usually other things are seen with it. A cell free DNA test may be a good one to check.
