you all are making me feel so much better. it hurt to not have anyone here near me. I didn't ask too many questions cuz I knew I would cry so so so much but so many questions weren't answered

my baby has this and they told me the exact sams thing we did all the testing necessary and my baby does not have down syndrome if they told you your test came back nevative then you have nothing to worry about it goes away its just extra fluid in your babies heart my baby still has it but its going away and she is as healthy as can be all thanks to the big guy in heaven dont worry sweetie it will be okay

I have to admit I totally cried once I got home. I am only 21 and this is my first.

Any baby can be born with downs but this spot is just as common in normal children it's the way the light from the sonogram reflects the spot trust me I feel you I freaked out and cried until I went to a specialist dr and heard the truth and %

No if you are under 30 it's 0.5 % rate I'm 40 so it's 2 % they gave me all the paper work on it and it's not at all what I goggled witch I knew being in the medical profession not to do that but I did

all she said was 2% of babies that have it have downs. but yes all blood work came back negative. @chichi1975

It also goes away usually in the third trimester it's similar to a calcium deposit and if downs test is negative then it causes no harm to baby or her/ his heart

Mine has it too I have seen a specialist and he said 95% of the time it's nothing did your dr office not reassure you of that its called a cardiac echogentic focus if we are talking about the same thing it is a soft maker of Downs only if you have tests saying downs which you said were negative correct?

I'm so sorry to heart that, I'm going to pray for you and the baby. Maybe they'll run some more tests. I wonder what could have happened in the mist of the time.. If you were negative at 12 weeks.

I am trying so hard to be strong. I was told today my baby's heart had abdominal scan. so there was a shiny thing I guess on the heart and increase my risk for down syndrome. but at like 12 weeks or whatever I did blood work and it said I was 3X negative. I have no family.near me and my husband is deployed. and all my friends are people I work with and I don't want them to know this cuz I don't wanna get upset at work

if you need anyone love always here to listen

Aww, if you need to talk.. I'm here
