After taking hCG and Susten for early bleeding, my 12-week ultrasound showed a small or partially missing nasal bone in the baby, but my other screening tests were normal; since I also have a family history of developmental conditions, what additional testing should I undergo to make sure my baby is healthy?
The hCG and Susten (progesterone) you took safely helped support your early pregnancy. Since a small nasal bone can sometimes be a normal variation, but you have a family history of developmental conditions, I recommend discussing a referral to a genetic counselor. They can review your family history and discuss advanced options like a detailed anatomy ultrasound at 18?20 weeks, or diagnostic testing like amniocentesis for definitive answers.
