thickened nuchal fold

Hello. I'm currently 15 w pregnant. And at my 14 w check up I was informed that at my 12 w u/s the baby had a slightly thickened nuchal fold not a severe thickness. My midwife didn't give me measurements but reassured me everything else was ok and she didn't think I needed to worry. But I am. Regardless of any test results my baby is so loved. I'm taking a papp-a test soon but my question is has anyone had this happen but went on to deliver a perfectly healthy baby?

I called this my lil bro's "extra neck meat" and he was like at risk, but when he was born he was a perfectly healthy little baby(: He's now the smartest three year old i've ever met lol.
