Hi

I have gone through your query, i will try to give you suggestion which will be helpful to you. 
Nuchal translucency scan is done to detect the increased risk of fetal chromosomal abnormalities like downs syndrome. It also depends on other factors like maternal age, gestational age, and other factors. Your baby's report is slightly above the normal range, Normally its less than 2.8. Other blood investigation like triple or quadruple tests should be done and correlated with the scan.
I hope this suggestion might be of some help to you. I will be glad to help you in case if you have any further queries.

Take care.
