Pregnancy 20 weeks complete and ultrasound 3D report shows low amniotic fluid. The triple test report shows NTD positive but in ultrasound everything is normal such as spine and head. At present I am undergoing 5 days drip of amino acid and RL. Kindly let me know if there is any other solution for the same besides drip and tablets with LRzim solution?

NTD and oligohydramnios need high risk OB care. Continue amino acid drips. Folic acid, close USG monitoring & genetic counseling advised.

Hi. My wife is 12 weeks pregnant and everything is normal in her blood report including thyroid, sugar and hemoglobin. The doctor has asked her to go for an NT scan along with Double Marker, which is optional. They said Double Marker will cost 4000 Rs. I need your suggestions. Is Double Marker really required if everything is normal in her blood report?

I am 25 years old and 15 weeks pregnant. I missed my NT scan and double marker test. What should I do next?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Hi Doctors, My double marker test report shows Down Syndrome risk as 1 in 352 and Edward Syndrome risk as 1 in 24360. I am 13 weeks and 5 days pregnant. Please suggest if these ranges are fine. Thanks.
