Pregnancy Info HOME

Hi,

I am in same situation like many of you . Ist pregancy n no problem uptill yesterday when i was told my baby boy had a white spot in heart. I and my husband both r doctors but still it was a blow to us. infact because of me my husband had to leave his operation theatre in between to be with me at genetic counselling. though counselling was not help ful at all as we already knew all the facts and figures. i had my quad screen negative and there was no other signs on USG for down's but i went for an amnio in afternoon just have a peace of mind as i worry a lot and i wanted to be sure about everythg . i will post my results when i get them . n i agree with most people on thsi forum that isolated finding of foci on heart is nothing to worry about. since yesterday i have surfed intenet a lot and came accross many publications/studies which says that amnio is not warrneted if isolated focus is only finding. till now i have come across only 1 case on a forum in which a lady amnio turned out to be positive for downs rest all i think have normal babies. i would also like to mention that in asian females like me this finding is seen in almost 30% of all pregnancies and 15% in caucasians. i hope all the best for u all.
