Nuchal Translucency (NT) Scan during Pregnancy
Congenital disorders or defects are defined as disorders or defects that babies are born with, or in simpler words – birth disorders or defects. Most of the time, congenital disorders cannot be treated. However, it definitely helps to know before your baby is born, if your baby is going to have any such disorder. Diagnosis tests have hence been designed for several congenital defects. One such test is the Nuchal Translucency (NT) Scan.
What is NT Scan?
The Nuchal Translucency (NT) Scan is a prenatal screening test. It allows pregnant women to determine primarily the risk factor of their baby being born with Down's Syndrome. Down's Syndrome is a congenital defect wherein a baby is born with three copies of chromosome number 21 (instead of the normal 2 copies).
Along with this, the NT scan is also able to detect if your baby is at the risk of having few other congenital defects like other chromosomal abnormalities (particularly in chromosome number 13 and 18), and heart problems.
Remember that the NT scan is only a 'screening' test. It cannot identify with 100% accuracy whether or not your baby will be born with Down's Syndrome. It will only identify the degree of 'risk'. In other words, the NT scan gives a probability or 'chance' of your baby developing Down's Syndrome. Based on the results of the NT scan (which will be explained further in this article) your gynaec may/may not advise you to take a 'diagnostic' test. A diagnostic test will tell you with certainty whether or not your baby will develop Down's Syndrome.
How is Nuchal Translucency Scan Done?
The NT scan is basically an ultrasound test.
What is the Nuchal Translucency?
The nuchal translucency is nothing but the degree of translucency of the fluid that builds up at the back of your baby's neck (or the 'nape' of the neck), during its normal growth and development within your womb. The fluid build up is a normal process. However, the composition of this fluid – especially its thickness and translucency – is affected by chromosomal abnormalities, such as the one responsible for Down's Syndrome.
How is Nuchal Translucency Ultrasound scan done?
An NT scan is nothing but a sonography. It can be performed as a Transabdominal or Transvaginal Ultrasound.
1. Transabdominal Ultrasound:
a scoop of the ultrasound gel will be applied to your lower abdomen
the ultrasound probe is placed on the gel to 'scan' your baby
if the results of this ultrasound are not satisfactory enough for your sonographer to build a report, you may be requested to go for a transvaginal ultrasound
you need a partially full abdomen to perform this test; consult your sonographer about the amount of fluids you should consume before this test
2. Transvaginal Ultrasound: while this may sound more 'invasive', it is an assuredly safe procedure.
a thin ultrasound probe is used for this test; the probe is about 2cm thick and comes with a protective sheath which is disposable
the probe is prepared by coating it with the ultrasound gel
it is then inserted in your vagina to 'scan' the baby
while this method may provide better results, you can consult your doctor if you are uncomfortable about performing this procedure
Who Can Perform NT Scan During Pregnancy?
The NT scan is basically an ultrasound sonography. Any qualified sonographer can hence perform the test successfully. It would be best to ask your gynaec for trusted recommendations of a good sonographer. While the procedure may not seem very difficult, you cannot rely on just a technician or an assistant to perform the test.
When is NT Screening Done?
The NT scan is typically performed between the 11th and 13th week of your pregnancy. This is because – your baby's neck is still transparent till this point. It is not possible to perform the NT scan beyond 13 weeks and 6 days of pregnancy – this is the latest by which you may perform the NT scan.
Risks of NT Screening
The NT scan is a non-invasive method. No blood sample is required to perform this test, no needles are inserted in any part of your body, nor are you subjected to any kind of radiation. The NT scan is thus a very safe procedure. It does not directly adversely affect you or your baby in any way.
The only risks of NT screening are psychological – anxiety, nervousness, and fear on part of the mother may considerably affect the mother's mental state. However, you must realise that: the NT scan is only going to help you and be better prepared to take care of your baby when it comes into this world. Stay positive, and talk to your gynaec and sonographer about the test, to get answers to any questions you may have.
Nuchal Translucency Measurement Chart
In normal foetuses, the thickness of the nuchal translucency measures about 2mm. Hence, a thicker nuchal translucency is typically indicative of a higher risk of Down's Syndrome.
Foetuses with 1.3mm NT thickness are at low risk of Down's Syndrome
The normal range of NT thickness is up to 2.5mm. However, nine out of ten babies with NT thickness up to 3.5mm will be normal and will NOT suffer from Down's Syndrome. Such values for NT thickness are typically observed in foetuses between 45 and 85mm length.
If the NT thickness is up to or more than 6mm, the foetus is at high risk of Down's Syndrome
It is difficult, however, to pin a definite 'cut-off' value for the thickness of the nuchal translucency. A lot depends on the size of the foetus, the age of the mother, and other factors too. Many a time, a foetus with Down's Syndrome also produces more nuchal fluid; it might not be possible to determine the risk factor accurately in such a case.
This is why doctors may look for another indicative sign: development of the nasal bone. It has been indicated that absence of a nasal bone suggests a high risk of Down's Syndrome too.
How Accurate is Nuchal Translucency Test
As previously explained, the NT scan only predicts how likely you are to give birth to a baby with Down's Syndrome. It is not a 'diagnostic' test, but merely a screening.
If you consider the nuchal translucency measurement figures discussed above, you will realise that the NT scan is not highly accurate.
If your baby is at a high or low risk of developing Down's Syndrome according to the NT scan, you may be advised to undertake a 'diagnostic' test for Down's Syndrome. It will tell you with certainty whether your baby will be affected or not.
The diagnostic test for Down's Syndrome is a blood test. It involves measurement of levels of two hormones: Human chronic gonadotropin (hCG) and Pregnancy Associated Plasma Protein A (PAPP-A).
A normal foetus produces and releases these two hormones in the mother's bloodstream. Level of these hormones can indicate whether your baby has Down's Syndrome or not.
The NT scan on its own is about 70 to 75% accurate; however, combined with a blood test, its accuracy can increase up to 90%.
Who Should Go for Nuchal Translucency Screening?
Mothers who have previously given birth to a baby with Down's Syndrome, are at a higher risk of doing so a second time. It is highly advisable for such women to undertake an NT scan.
The risk factor for Down's Syndrome increases with maternal age. While 1 in 1500 babies born to women in their 20s will develop Down's Syndrome, this chance increases when we consider women in their 40s: a 40-year old woman has a 1 in 100 chance that she might give birth to a baby with Down's Syndrome, while a 45-year old woman has a 1 in 50 chance. Mothers are advised to go for the NT screening accordingly.
Why Should You Have Nuchal Translucency Ultrasound?
As a mother, it is understandable that you would be wary of getting any 'tests' done. Any test you are advised to take will get you feeling concerned about your baby's safety first and foremost, followed by your own safety. The previous sections of the article might have assured you about the safety aspect of the NT scan. Yet the question remains: why should you have nuchal translucency ultrasound done?
The NT scan – along with identifying the risk factor for Down's Syndrome can detect several other things:
Risk factor for Patau Syndrome (a congenital defect where the baby is born with three copies of chromosome number 13, instead of the normal three copies.)
Risk Factor for Edward's Syndrome (a congenital defect where the baby is born with three copies of chromosome number 18, instead of the normal three copies.)
Risk factor for physical conditions like congenital heart problems.
The NT scan can thus better equip you in terms of knowledge to make your choice about whether you want to continue your pregnancy or not.
NOTE: The Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act, 1971, allows a woman to medically terminate her pregnancy (i.e. have an abortion) up to the 20th week of pregnancy, provided that continuing the pregnancy might prove fatal to her or the baby, or if there is considerable risk of the baby being born with physical and/or mental handicap that will prevent it from having a quality life. It is strongly advised that you seek legal counselling and guidance before taking any step.
In most cases, it will not be required of the mother to take such a drastic decision – nature has its own way of taking care of the situation. About 50% of foetuses that have Down's Syndrome do not complete full term and are spontaneously naturally aborted. Hence chances of you giving birth to a baby with Down's Syndrome are much smaller than chances of such a foetus completing full term in the first place.
However, should your pregnancy continue successfully and you give birth to a baby with Down's Syndrome, then prenatal screening tests for Down's Syndrome can actually help you better prepare yourself for the upbringing of such a baby. Management of Down's Syndrome can be quite challenging, especially for parents who have no prior experience of dealing with such a baby, and it always helps to be informed beforehand.

5 Reasons Why You Should Clean Your Makeup Brushes
How many times have you heard a celebrity or model tell an interviewer that the secret to their gorgeous skin is to ‘always wash off makeup before bed”? In fact, it is so drilled in our minds that we make it a point to wash and cleanse our faces before bedtime. However, when it comes to cleaning our makeup brushes, we postpone it to the next day, and the next until one day a thick film of cakey makeup glues the brush bristles together! Gross! Dirty brushes can be a breeding ground for bacteria, which can result in untimely and unwanted breakouts, which is why, you need to give your sacred tools a nice wash.
5 Reasons To Convince You To Clean Your Makeup Brushes
Most experts are of the opinion that makeup brushes should be washed at least once a week to prevent the accumulation of bacteria, dust, and oil on them. However, there are many other reasons why you should be washing your makeup brushes regularly, if not daily.
1. To Prevent Breakouts
You must be familiar with clogged pores; the pores on your face clog when there is a build up of oil and dead skin cells on the surface of your skin. Whenever your makeup brush comes in contact with your skin, it picks up everything from your face – oil, dust, dead skin cells, and bacteria; and the next time you use the same dirty brush on your face, you make way for new breakouts and blemishes on your beautiful face. If you don’t want this to happen, it’s time you consider cleaning your makeup brushes.
2. To Reduce Skin Irritation
Not cleaning makeup brushes on a regular basis can stiffen their bristles, which can be abrasive on your skin, resulting in skin irritation and redness. Therefore, to keep your skin soft and supple, make it a point to clean your brushes regularly. Cleaning brushes every day will keep their bristles soft and you’ll be safe from getting itchy skin.
3. To Avoid Germs
Dirty makeup brushes not only ruin your skin but also your expensive makeup products. When you apply makeup with a brush and then swirl it back in a particular makeup product, you transfer the bacteria from your face to the product; and bacteria love the damp texture of your makeup products especially foundations, concealers, bronzer, blushes, etc. If you don’t want to taint your brand new makeup products, start cleaning your makeup brushes more often.
4. To Prevent Viral Infections
If you have never considered washing your brushes, perhaps this reason will convince you to clean them thoroughly and OFTEN! Dirty brushes can lead to viral infections. If you use damaged makeup brushes or share them with someone, you actually share and receive microbes. Sharing your eye makeup brushes and lip brushes also increase the chances of conjunctivitis and herpes respectively. So, don’t take this task of cleaning brushes lightly. Clean them now!
5. To Make Your Makeup Brushes Last Long
We know it well that spending money on good-quality makeup products is an investment, so you don’t regret it. But if you are spending a bomb on makeup products every year, shouldn’t you give them the care they deserve? Makeup brushes are one of the priciest tools in your makeup arsenal, right? If you don’t want your money going down the drain, wash your brushes regularly. The more often you clean them, the longer they will last.
How to Clean Your Makeup Brushes
Now that you know why cleaning your makeup brushes is essential, it’s only wise to know how to clean them. So, here’s a step-by-step guide on how to clean makeup brushes and make them as good as new.
To start with the cleaning process, first wet the bristles of the brushes with lukewarm water.
Next, squeeze a dollop of a mild shampoo in a bowl or mug filled with warm water.
Swirl the used brushes in water, and gently massage the tips of the bristles to remove the dirt accumulated on it.
Rinse the bristles with clean water, then squeeze out the excess water from them.
Let the brush dry on the counter in a way that the bristles hang on the edge of the counter so that the excess water drips.
Once they dry completely, keep them safe in your makeup brush kit.
FAQs
1. How Often Should You Clean Your Makeup Brushes?
Ideally, you should clean your makeup brushes after every use, but we know that it’s not possible every time, especially when you’re rushing to a party. So, try and clean them once a week to give them a longer shelf life. Also, if you use concealers and foundations daily, wash them once a week without fail.
2. What Products Should You Use To Clean Your Makeup Brushes?
You don’t need anything expensive to clean your makeup brushes. Water and a gentle shampoo will do the job. However, if you like, you can buy a silicone brush cleaner to massage the bristles of the brushes or massage them with your hands - the choice is entirely yours!
We hope the reasons mentioned above will convince you to clean your makeup brushes at least once a week, if not daily. You can also follow the step-by-step guide to make your brushes squeaky clean.

Skype Away the Distance with 5 Useful Tips
Do you find it hard to video chat with your kids? Maybe you need to make the experience more interesting so your little ones pay attention. Video chatting sessions can easily turn into fun times your children will love!
Do you often have to stay away from home and your little one for work and other commitments? You certainly miss your baby and would like nothing better than to stay in touch. Thanks to progress in technology, this isn't difficult anymore. Bonding through video chat with toddlers on Skype is one option that can make the distance dissolve in no time!
Tips for Video Chatting with Children
1. Timing it Right
Toddlers have a short attention span so it's important that you time video chats in such a way that your children are in a good mood and attentive. The best time to chat is in the morning after breakfast as this is when they're most alert. Avoid chatting when they're hungry and tired as they'll only be fussy and irritable.
2. Make Eye Contact
One of the most important tips for a video chat with kids is to make eye contact with them. In order to have toddlers listen to you and respond, it is important that they can see your face and look into your eyes. Try to make them feel like you're talking directly to them instead of through a screen otherwise they'll get bored and inattentive. If your hubby is home, ask him to pitch in and keep your darling entertained!
3. Going for Favourites
Getting your pre-schoolers to show interest throughout a video chat takes some work. You can sing them their favourite song or tell them their favourite story. You could even enact it with some puppets. They'd love that and will be all ears for what you have to say. Try being funny as kids enjoy comic scenes and expressions.
4. Try a Change of Scene
Try chatting with your kids on a phone or a tablet. This makes it easy for you to move around and also gives them the freedom to show you different scenes and views. This is especially so if you have older children who are eager to tell you about school, friends and what's been going on in their lives. However, a change of location should also work well with your toddler.
5. Expect Less
Unlike adults who can chat endlessly for hours, children lose interest quickly. Toddlers and pre-schoolers in particular get bored easily. Don't expect your little ones to chat with you for more than five minutes at a time. Anything longer and they'll be craving something else. It's a good idea to end the call before they start zoning out.
Try these video chatting tips for parents when you Skype with your angels next. Schedule a chat every other day depending on how busy you are. Make sure the internet connection is stable and that your laptop, cell phone or tablet is fully charged. Get closer to your kids even when away! Read more
