Nuchal fold: Have they scheduled you for a rescan? A scan with a perinatologist. If not, I would ask your provider to have a scan with a perinatologist. By doing so, a higher level ultrasound is done and they will be able to give you better answers.

Not accurate: The nuchal fold is not measured in this way. It is measured in a very specific way as one measurement not one on each side.
