Pregnancy Info HOME

Vini,
I found this site under the same situation as you are. I am now 27 weeks, I am 30 years old and I'm also Asian. I was sent to the 2nd level ultrasound a month ago due to 2 bright spots at the baby's heart. When they told me calcium deposite could means my baby might have DS, I cried. I didn't think it would happen to me. Neither of our family have any history of DS. But both the nurse and the doctor comfort me by telling me usually there is more than one symtoms on DS babies. They examine all the organs, especially lungs. Fluid in the lungs can be another symtoms. They also look at baby's facial structure...nose bone, eye sockets. Also baby's fingers and toes. The doctor said everything seems to be very normal, I shouldn't be worry at all. Well...I still worry. I'm going back in 2 weeks to do another ultrasound...hopefully the spots will go away. I'm really glad to see your post and now know that it's common among Asian. Maybe I can ask my doctor and see if he can confirm the stats for us...Good luck to all the expecting mom out there.
