Do I need to make an appointment for NT examination?

In order to fully ensure the health of the baby, parents should pay special attention to their own health from the beginning of pregnancy preparation, and protect the fetus during the pregnancy process. They should also do a good job of prenatal checkups to deal with any abnormalities of the fetus in time. The NT test is a very important test, so does it need to be scheduled?

Do I need to make an appointment for NT examination?

Generally speaking, expectant mothers can go to the hospital for an NT test on the same day. But in order to be on the safe side and avoid making a wasted trip, it is best to book in advance. In this way, you don’t have to wait in line for a long time when you go for the examination.

Therefore, expectant mothers who need to do NT examinations should consult their chief physician or consult the hospital in the first few days of the examination for early arrangements. Generally, tertiary hospitals do not require reservations, but private hospitals with a relatively large number of inspections generally require reservations.

What is NT test?

The NT test is performed on expectant mothers who are 11 to 14 weeks pregnant and is a color Doppler ultrasound examination done through the vagina. During the examination, the main focus is to determine the thickness of the fetal nuchal translucency to determine whether the fetus has Down syndrome.

Of course, when doing NT examination, it is not only necessary to check the thickness of the fetal nuchal translucency, but also the growth and development of the fetus's limbs, as well as the fetal heart rate.

The thickness of nt can reflect the physical condition of the fetus during pregnancy. Generally speaking, when the thickness of nt exceeds 3mm, parents need to pay more attention and consider whether the fetus has Down syndrome. The more the NT value shown in the test data exceeds the standard value, the greater the probability that the pregnant mother's fetus will become sick. The standard value is very large, and the babies will face the risk of heart disease, chromosomal abnormalities and other diseases after birth. However, the lower the nt value, the better. The baby will be healthier if the value is kept within the normal range.
