Nt examination is an important examination item for pregnant women in the early stages of pregnancy, but many pregnant women do not know when they need to be examined, thus missing the best examination opportunity, and there are also some pregnant women who do not know the normal level of NT examination. So, is it normal to have a 32mm amniotic fluid test with NT?
The normal maximum depth of amniotic fluid is three to eight centimeters. From this data, it can be seen that 32mm of amniotic fluid is normal for pregnant women during NT examination. If the NT test result is high, the fetus may have chromosomal abnormalities or congenital heart disease, or other organ abnormalities.
Generally speaking, fetal organs are basically developed around 12 weeks. If the NT value is still high after repeated examinations by pregnant women at this time, it is best to do amniocentesis to check for chromosomal abnormalities or undergo Down syndrome screening to rule out the possibility of abnormalities. However, due to individual differences in physical constitution, some fetuses may have normal body fluids but secrete more, which can lead to abnormal test results. Therefore, if the test results are problematic, it is not necessarily abnormal, and further judgment is usually based on the results of mid-term prenatal screening.
Before undergoing NT examination, pregnant women do not need to be nervous. The entire examination process is fast, about 10-20 minutes. Moreover, before the NT examination, it is possible to have breakfast normally without holding urine. As long as the pregnant woman maintains a good mood, it is beneficial for the smooth examination and can help the fetus develop better.
