Is it normal to have an NT value of 0.12cm at 12 weeks of pregnancy

  Every woman needs to go to the local hospital for relevant pregnancy tests in a timely manner during pregnancy, so as to understand the corresponding situation of the fetus. But some women are told during pregnancy that the NT value is 0.12cm, which can leave many pregnant women confused. So, is it normal to have an NT value of 0.12cm at 12 weeks of pregnancy?

  

Is it normal to have an NT value of 0.12cm at 12 weeks of pregnancy1

  The NT value of 0.12cm at 12 weeks of pregnancy is normal. If the nt value is less than 2.5mm, it indicates that the baby's body is healthy. However, if it is greater than 2.5mm, it also suggests that the baby is at risk of certain abnormalities and requires further examination to understand the baby's own situation.

  NT testing during pregnancy is an important examination, and it is recommended that women undergo it between 11 and 13 weeks of pregnancy. Firstly, ultrasound can be used to measure the thickness of the baby's nuchal translucency, and then determine whether there is a chromosomal risk.

  If the nt value in the test data is within the normal range, it means that the risk of chromosomal abnormalities in the baby is low, but regular prenatal check ups are still needed in the later stages. If there are certain abnormalities in the NT data, it indicates that the risk of chromosomal abnormalities in the baby will continue to increase. In this case, relevant amniocentesis or non-invasive DNA testing should be performed to further clarify.
