nuchal fold 5.9 mm

Hello! I'm 12 weeks pregnant (26 years old) and did an early morphology scan. It showed nuchal fold = 5.9mm with CRL of 5.74cm. Also showed reverse flow in ductus venous. I did CVS and it showed no chromosomal abnormalities. The doctor was still not happy with the NT  and said it could mean major heart defects or other abnormalities. They schedule me for another ultrasound at 16 weeks to take a look at the heart. What are my chances of having a healthy baby? If the risk is high, is this enough info to go for a termination? Many thanks for your answer. Kristina

The doctor should be able to give you the odds, and if see a genetic counselor they should be able to also.
