Echogenic focus(bright spot) on heart & club feet.. (downs or chromosomal abnormalties)? - club feet and chromosomal
I am 30 weeks pregnant with my 2nd Child and went to visit a specialist and confirmed club foot. I want to make a 3D I can really see. He said it was the worst he has seen, but not better or ... for what he calls the east. And also said that he is a bright spot in his heart, which is a soft marker for Down's syndrome or chromosomal abnormalties .. He said that my risk rises to 3 in 1000 for abnormalties chromosomal or low .. He told me to start a non-stress test once a week .. Amnesty International points out why I do not, I suspect the place in my heart.
Im very woried.
Has anyone advice or know about it! Everything will help, thank you!

Hello,
Today I am 38 weeks and found an echogenic focus in the heart, two of the left ventricle and slightly smaller Ecogenics .... I have panicked and went through the stress, I was offered an amniocentesis, which I declined ..
I then a detailed examination of the fetal heart, which was quite normal .. that if there are other "markers" to know when there are more chances of bubs problem (like a little child nasal bone measurement smaller than it should be ..), but the emphasis not only echogenic really do anything.
I know, its very difficult to go through, and if you consider an amniocentesis and to get everything cleared.
I hope that our children are healthy!
To send all my love, good luck xx
We had the same thing with echogenic focus in the heart. No other abnormalities occurred in 19 weeks scan, but the glimmer of hope in the heart was clearly present. The risk of DS and other chromosomal abnormalities in more than 1 250 increase for me, for my regular tasks that sent me to a perinatologist, who do me the option of amniocentesis for a definitive diagnosis. I called amniocentesis and rapid test results (FISH) to. 4 days later we received a call saying everything was in order. The text is amnio results back a week later and confirmed that the girl in good health. At 28 weeks, the stain is still there, but the perinatologist assured us that the baby's heart is healthy and everything is in order.
My personal opinion is that you should consider an application for an amniocentesis considered. There is a (very) low risk amniocentesis are connected, and your doctor can help you decide whether this test for you. Of course, if your baby has a genetic disease can be a great help. If no problems found, you can stop WORrying. If the child has Down syndrome, you have to be in a position to prepare for life with a child with special needs. Amniocentesis is a further risk assessment - it is an analysis of the chromosomes, which are the final results.
I hope that everything goes well for you and your child.
Well, when I carried out an ultrasound at 19 weeks, they found an echogenic focus in the heart of my baby and bilateral Choroid Plexus brain.
Of course, I started going crazy because they can be "soft markers" for Down syndrome.
Yet despite extensive research, he quickly learned that the May results are very common and are called "soft" because the markers have been associated with Down's syndrome in combination, but that does not mean that your baby is actually much rather have.
I had another ultrasound at 33 weeks and Choroid Plexus is gone and the emphasis is more echogenic than the radiologist actually entered the room and spoke to me. He explained that because the ultrasound equipment has evolved in recent years, especially now collect what some people panic, because these results are still considered fairly "new". He also told me not to care at all. Health care professionals are required to analyze these results with you, but the radiologist'sNot much help, and not even mentioned, because that 99% of the time nothing.
Regardless of condition, what, you have a baby ... always the possibility that something can go wrong, just keep your chin up and keep a positive attitude. I am obliged to all the negative thoughts in my head, for the welfare of my child (the care, only underscores the outside two).
I am sure your baby is well and will be born perfectly healthy.
Do not worry!
Good Luck ~
