Help on Oscar scan (hypoplastic nasal bone)

Hello all!! I went for oscar nt scan at 12 weeks exact. Neck skin thickness is alright, but the nasal bone is not obvious and dr used the term "hypoplastic nose" and gotta wait for a week for the results and i am so anxious! Does anyone has any clue abt this eg if the blood result risk is good, do i take another scan a week after to scan for the nose again? Or do i take nipt + another scan for the nose too? Just exploring the possibilities in advance. I do read that the nose does grow slower in some asian babies and i hope that's for my case. Pls share with me if you have been thru sth similiar, would certainly appreciate it. Thank you! #pregnancy #firstbaby #pleasehelp

i had this issue when i had my first kid. nasal bone cant be seen thus im labelled as high risk. i did worry for a while thinking if i should take another test. but my hub did ask me like if we find out that its not good, will i abort or keep. if i will abort then can take. if i want keep den might as well don take. but i had a dream about my baby telling me he is alright, don worry etc. end of the day i did not take any extra test. his nasal bone can also be seen during FA scan. the Nuh prof mentioned Asians nose not ss sharp as Caucasians, thus its not something unusual that e nasal bone cant be seen. but my boy did have a flatter nose bridge, haha.. but its ok! healthy is important :)
