i went from my first US im am currently 19.5 weeks pregnant they said i had to go back on the 2nd of feb due to a little spot they found in babies heart, also were only able to get a pic from one angle of babies heart because of position of baby. Should i be concerned? also said it was common in thinner girls, is that true?
Hi, Please don't be concerned at present, at 19.5 weeks sometimes the structures of the heart may not be very clear and can require a re-scan after 2-3 weeks when heart can be visualized better.Also, once the baby moves to a different position, a better angle can be obtained, to clearly visualize the heart. It is common to find a spot on babies heart, its considered a soft marker for some conditions. But if your baby doesn't have any other significant finding on ultrasound and the structure of heart seems normal, then you need not have to worry. It is more difficult to see ultrasound findings in women who are overweight or obese, than thin. Hope this helps. Regards.
