Ultrasound Update

Yesterday I received a voice mail from my Dr. saying that on the ultrasound pictures from last week there is a echogenic intracardiac focus (EIF) on the left ventricle of the baby's heart. Which sometimes can indicate chromosomal abnormalities. She wanted me to go to a maternal-fetal specialists for a second opinion and second ultrasound. So of course I stressed out. This morning I was able to get in for a second ultrasound at the specialists office. The technician was great, very thorough and immediately told me that she see's eif's frequently and that it is normal. Sometimes eif's are an indicator of Down's syndrome, or trisomy 18 and 13, but most of the time they are just a normal variance that have no effect what so ever on the baby. They took lots of measurements and were very thorough and everything looked great. She said typically if this was something to be concerned about she would find other risk factors of which there are none. So no worries!! The final report will still be done by the high risk Dr. and my Dr., but I feel certain that all is well. I have a scheduled appointment/check up tomorrow so I can go over everything then too. So I view the whole experience as just an opportunity to see the little one again. She was still just as active. I got some great new pictures. It's nice to know my Dr. is thorough and checks into everything, I just wonder if sometimes it's just a little to over cautious. I like knowing that everything is good, but I don't like the worry that I felt last night. Maybe my Dr. could have just approached this differently............
