White spot on heart during anatomy scan?

Question

I went in for my anatomy scan today at 18w4d. I'm having boy/girl twins. Baby B (our boy) looked great and everything measured fine. Baby A (our girl) also measured fine but the tech found white spots on her heart. The doctor came in and said that if (when) I go home and Google I will see that the white spots can be a marker for Down's syndrome. But, because my blood tests have come back normal and I have no other indicators, he is not worried and thinks I shouldn't be either. Of course, I can't help but be completely worried!

I ended up doing the MaterniT21 test and now have to wait the 10-14 days for results. I'm trying to convince myself to not stress out, but it's tough. Anyone have this show up in their ultrasound and it turned out to be nothing?

Answer

This is a soft marker for DS. My baby had one soft marker too, kidney dilation. Of course I panicked too and had the Maternit21 done (I requested it. They didn't even think it was worth having it done but I wanted peace of mind). Came back negative. Took like 6 business days to get results. Chances are the baby is fine, but I understand totally how you feel and hopefully the test results will come back fine:)
