oooooook. I need some support or words of encouragement. I recently had my midway ultrasound at 19 weeks (last week). My doctor's office called me and told me that they didn't get good enough views of the spine and needed to schedule another one..I was like, ok..but everything is fine? And the woman said "Oh yes!" Then, a few days later, the midwife from my doctor's office called & told me that they saw something called an "echogenic intracardiac focus" in my baby's heart...which is essentially a white dot in the picture. It is associated with a small percent increased risk of chromosomal abnormalities like Down's Syndrome. Hearing all of these words FREAKED ME THE F OUT. My bf and I cried..we went in and tried to get a better understanding, and the midwife was like "No! Your baby is 99% perfectly healthy we just want to do blood test to be SURE." So I got the maternity 21 blood test and another ultrasounds today. Now we wait. The more I look online, the better I feel, but it's still really scary. Has anyone else gone through this?

On a positive note, the girl who did our ultrasound today was soooo nice and even switched on the 3D which she isn't supposed to do lol. Our baby boy was sucking his thumb! But, the white dot was still there. (Which is to be expected). Supposedly they mostly disappear on their own during the third trimester.

My daughter as well has an echogenic focus and she is just fine. It's just a calcium deposit. As long as yiur@bloodwork came back fine all is wel!!

Racial nickname

I made it to 38wks! Just got home from my doctor's appointment and the midwife checked my cervix and I'm 3cm dilated and 70% effaced but apparently they won't admit me til I'm 6...which doesn't make any sense to me but hey I don't make the rules...

bunsinmyoven They probably won’t admit you unless you’re in active labor. I’ve heard lots of women dilated more
yurmomsahoe You could be at a 3 for weeks, girl. That's why they aren't admitting you. If you're

Lame rant: I still have no idea of how far along I am ?

I have no idea of how far along I am, and I couldn't get an ultrasound appointment before next Friday ? the midwife I called won't see me before my ultrasound ?

babybump_user ??? cute deleted her comments, so pathetic why not just shut the f*** up in the first
camissende If you're blocked I'm blocked too ? Eta: also I don't think people who liked her comments
babybump_user Yup her comments were the most useless thing about this post ?
