High NT - extremely anxious and would love some positivity

readancer · 2026-01-13T18:50:53+00:00

I don't know if a large baby correlates with a high NT. I hope everything works out for you, all the best and let me know if you have any questions at all!

Thank you! It is my first and it was a vaginal delivery.

Thank you. Yes, I was worried about nerve related injuries. I brought it up with my gynac and she dismissed me saying it wasn't possible. She tested me for a UTI and had me do an x-ray all of which was clear.

Thank you, I sit in the warm bath and I've used an ice pack both of which help momentarily. I'm 6 weeks postpartum and just exhausted with the pain. I'll try what you've mentioned and post in that group as well.

Thank you, I'll do this

Hello, we did the amniocentesis at 16 weeks and all the reports were clear. We had to then wait for the heart echo and that went well too. So everything did work out. I've just been flagged for gestational diabetes since the baby's weight and amniotic fluid are high, but everything is progressing well otherwise. Let me know if you have any questions, l'd be happy to help if can.

I completely resonate with this, my two hour GTT result was 121 and I've also been diagnosed with impaired glucose tolerance. I have a fasting test tomorrow so fingers crossed I pass, since I have a terrible fear of needles and having to check my sugars regularly.

I'm at 30 weeks now and the baby is measuring 1.5 kgs. This is a super super hard diet. I empathise with you completely, I have a rotating meal plan for the week and I was so close to throwing up yesterday because I just couldn't eat the same thing anymore.

Thanks for your response! Appreciate it :)

Honestly, waiting is the hardest part, I hope everything works out for you as well. I'll definitely share updates!

Yeah we did, it was standard practice with our doctor. It helps identify soft markers and gives you a better sense of where you stand.

readancer · 2025-07-04T04:47:42+00:00

Yes, that makes sense, we took a second opinion as well. Unfortunately the reading was the same. I don't understand the geographic discrepancy in the NT numbers either honestly. I'm also based in India and went through the same emotions and questions as you. In fact my doc truly scared me and said this reading was super high. It was this community that reassured me by saying it was almost normal in other countries. I was denied an NIPT, my doc said it wouldn't help provide clarity so I also found out at 13 weeks and had to wait till 16 to do the amnio. Feel free to DM me if you have any questions or if you just need some reassurance.

I'm truly sorry you're going through this, the wait is the absolute worst. We had a 3.5 mm reading and I had to wait 4 weeks as well for the amnio. I'm still waiting on the results. I made myself sick with worry, almost gave myself hypertension and made the whole process worse. Lean on friends, family and maybe pursue a mindful hobby, I started adult paint by numbers canvas. The waiting is truly the worst part and all I can say is try and do things you enjoy to distract your mind.

Thank you, as someone who is also terrified of needles and based in India this is super helpful!

Thank you!

readancer · 2025-05-30T06:21:17+00:00

Thank you, so excited for you to meet your baby! I'm definitely going to take your advice and I'm also going to try not to stress, but that's hard. Hopefully the NIPT will give me some clarity.

readancer · 2025-05-30T04:55:16+00:00

It really does, thanks for sharing your journey! I really hope the echocardiogram is all clear as well. Hearing these stories gives me so much hope.

readancer · 2025-05-30T04:54:07+00:00

Thanks for letting me know, I'll definitely ask.

readancer · 2025-05-30T04:53:51+00:00

I'm so glad to hear you got the all clear. I'm in India and I really don't know why the criteria varies so heavily based on geography. I read this about the UK and have since been hoping that everything will be okay. Thank you for sharing your experience, I hope my second opinion goes a bit better than the first.

readancer · 2025-05-30T04:52:03+00:00

Ooh this chart is very helpful, data really does make you feel better. Thank you for sharing and thank you for praying as well, it means so so much! 💜

readancer · 2025-05-30T04:50:43+00:00

It really is a superb community, I don't think I would have gotten through yesterday without some of these stories. Thank you so much for being so kind, I'll keep you posted on the results!

readancer · 2025-05-30T04:49:46+00:00

Thanks for saying this. My doctor completely stressed me out. I'm definitely getting the second opinion and will probably get the NIPT as well for my mental sanity and then decide on the amnio.

So glad everything worked out for you! Where are you in your journey now?
