Have no idea: since I've no idea about the size of the baby. http://www.babycentre.co.uk/a544491/nuchal-translucency-nt-scan seems to be a pretty good discussion about it. I doubt I would have passed it though since I have a nuchal fold. I am not at all sure whether this test has been evaluated fully. (like with Asians).
