Pregnancy Info HOME

hey everyone. i just had my 20 week US today and the midwife told me the US tech found a "shadow" on the baby's heart. is that the same as an "EIF" that i have seen people post about? i am 26, my husband is 27, both healthy, and neither my husband nor i have any family hx. of DS. the midwife never mentioned DS and said if it was her in my shoes she would not worry, but yet she still is sending me to a perinatologist to have another US in 2-4 weeks. i am worried sick. we did not have any AFP testing done, which i now regret. and everything else today looked completely normal she said (long femur, normal head, etc). the midwife even said structurally the heart looks fine and the bloodflow appears to be normal. has anyone else been told their baby had a "shadow"? how has everything turned out for you? thanks.
