Absent Nasal Bone
My heart sank when they couldn’t detect the nasal bone during the OSCAR screening...therefore the risk of baby having Down Syndrome is high at 1:103 and Trisomy 18 is intermediate. This is really stressful sigh.
Not to worry so much if it's during first trimester scan as I got the same result from Oscar scan but my doctor recommended me to go for NICE+ test to further confirm and result turned out as low risk. Now I already had my second trimester scan and nasal bone can be seen. Asian tends to developed nasal bone later it seems.
Read moredon’t worry; i have friends who had similar results for oscar screenings. but their babies didn’t have down syndrome. when will your advanced test results be out?
Hi I received the NIPT results, thankfully it’s low risk! Looks like baby just has a flat nose
Which week did you get your screening done? If it's week 12, maybe baby need more time to develop. Sometimes it's the baby's angle during scanning too.
Sending lots of hugs and love. Stay strong mummy! Hang in there.
Thank you:)
Hugs, dear. This must be very difficult news to hear...
Thanks dear...indeed it’s a bitter pill to swallow...can only wait for further test results to be out.
Stay strong mummy
Thank you! My subsequent NIPT results states low risk, thankfully. :)
Clueless mum-to-be
