Pregnancy Info HOME

Hi Everyone just wanted to add my story to this board. They found two echogenic foci on my baby's heart at the 17 week ultrasound, and of course sent me into a flat spin when they said it was a soft marker for Downs. They measured everything else and there were no other signs of Downs. My doctor told me though that if everything else looks fine, then it is nothing to be worried about. At the 21 week ultrasound one of the spots had disappeared. I had the triple marker test and it was fine - gave me risk of 1 in 10000. I am 27 and have not had any other health issues with this pregnancy except for discovering I am rhesus negative, but luckily not sensitised. There was no way I was going to do an amnio given the risks of rhesus sensitisation, not to mention miscarriage.

I am now 30 weeks, and will post back when I have the baby, hopefully with a reassuring story!
