Pregnancy Info HOME

Hi all, I am 33 years old and 20 weeks pregnant. I had my first US and they picked up an echogenic focus in the left ventricle and dilated kidneys 5.1mm. I then had a follow up scan 2 days later and they still saw these anomolies. During the second scan, I was able to see my baby "boy" exercising lifting his right leg with his hand and stretching his arms above his head. He looked so cute. Everything else was normal on the US. However the doctor said my chance of a Down Syndrome baby has decreased from 1:350 to 1:94. I decided not to take the amnio because I do not believe in abortions and because of the risk it poses to a healthy baby. However, I am still worried sick and I am trying to hope that everything will be hopeful. They say dilated kidneys are more common in boys and he looked like a healthy baby when he was doing his exercises. Just wondering if anyone else is in the situation and if it turned out fine.
