Abnormal sonogram
Hi,
I am new to this board, I am currently 29 and 21 weeks pregnant.
I just wanted to know if any of you mommies to be have gone through something similar. My level II showed 2 of the "markers" for downs, bright spot on the heart and dilation of kidneys. The doctor told me there is now a concern of down syndrome. Through my own research, both of these markers seem quite common. All else was measuring fine.
I am going to see a genetic counselor and periantologist(sp?) today. As I am sure you understand, this news puts you in a tailspin of confusion and worry.
Please let me know if anyone has gone through the same thing and what the outcome was.
Thanks.

Re: Abnormal sonogram
I actually went through this at 20 weeks - I am having twins and when they did the "big" sonogram they noticed a echocardio focci on Baby B's heart. (a bright spot) - I went to genetic counseling, but there was no way I was having an amnio - Instead I opted to have another sonogram to take a closer look at the babies heart. The spot was still there - but they said it is very common - that the heart looks totally normal. So I'm just keeping a positive state of mind and am praying everyday that both my babies are healthy!
I can totally relate to what you are going through - its very scary - If you need to talk fm anytime - and keep us posted!

Re: Abnormal sonogram
I have heard of this too. A friend of mine was told that there was a spot on the baby's heart and she was born fine. She did not agree to do the amnio either.
Hope everything goes well!

My friend went through this, I am not sure what her markers were but they eventually cleared up and her baby was born perfectly fine.
