Nuchal Transulcency Scan Results...

Are in!

Babies A and B: 1 in 17,000 of having an chromosomal abnormality
Baby C: 1 in 16,000 of having an chromosomal abnormality

WOO HOO! Absolutely thrilled with their NT measurements! Some other good things we saw on the ultrasound: all have visible stomachs and bladders, strong heartbeats, visible nasal bones, and are very active. Dr. P was super happy and said the babies are perfectly healthy and normal as far as we can tell. I absolutely loved our sonographer, who was 31 weeks pregnant, because she narrated the whole scan, telling me what was what, how everything looked good, and made a gender prediction, which she said was early, but she was "pretty sure." I will post a Blogspot poll so you can all make your best guess and the answer will be revealed on Sunday.

They record full DVD's of the whole ultrasound, so I only got a few pictures, but cute they are. I will make my husband (AKA: Tech Support) figure out how to post a bit of the video.

I am full of gratitude, and so happy they are well inside of me. I loved seeing each nose, wiggly body and face. These are our children, and they are healthy. Grateful does not begin to cover it.

Here is C, looking adorable:



Here are all of them in one shot. 3 perfect little heads, snuggling together!

  12. They are all adorable!! Congrats on a great scan. Baby C is most likely a girl based on the "nub". I could probably guess on the other 2 if I could see their profiles. Based on C being a girl though I say 2 girls 1 boy! Yay for 3 great bubs!!

  18. I'm new to your blog and discovered we have some things in common! I'm almost 14 weeks pregnant with twins and just had my NT scan as well. I also had one of my tubes removed after an ectopic pregnancy.

    Glad to hear things are going well and congrats on the triplets... WOW!
