I'm 13 weeks pregnant and just got my NT scan results today. I'm 29 years old and the scan showed an NT measurement of 1.7mm. Is that within the normal range? Should I be concerned about it?

Nuchal translucency (NT) scan sometimes called the early morphology scan done between 11 and 13 weeks...less than 3.5mm at 13 weeks is considered normal... So nothing to worry it's within normal range

I'm really concerned about my baby's health after our recent scan. At 12 weeks and 4 days, the NT scan measurement came back as 2.4mm, and the nasal bone is measuring 1.5mm. It's already been 24 hours since the scan, and I'm a bit anxious about whether these measurements are normal or if there's something I should be worried about. Could you please advise on what this could mean and if there are any steps we need to take?

I'm really curious about whether oral contact with the vagina is actually healthy or if it might cause any health problems. Can engaging in this activity lead to any kind of issues?

Engaging in oral sex, including vaginal stimulation, is generally safe if both partners are healthy, consenting, and practice good hygiene. However, it can increase the risk of transmitting sexually transmitted infections (STIs) if proper precautions, such as using protection, are not taken. Maintaining personal hygiene and open communication with your partner is important for overall health and well-being.
