Heart Echo?

Question

Did anybody else have to get a heart echo? The radiologist said they may have seen a small bubble or something on my babies heart and they just want to confirm it's nothing. They look for 8-10 things and only found 1 so I'm just wondering what to look forward too? Thanks in advance positive comments only!

Answer

It's almost exactly like an (external) ultrasound, except they zoom in more. I had one for me and baby last Friday because of family heart issues (including me).  
The tech will most likely not say anything positive or negative since it's such a delicate exam to look for things that are wrong, and there's a lot of tiny measurements so it may take longer than your US. There's no special prep for it. They base measurements relative to your baby's size, to make sure everything is growing relative to how the baby is, not to your projected due date.

Good luck!  Even if there is some issue there's a lot they can fix now that they couldn't even 5 years ago. And don't be afraid to get a second opinion if it is bad news. 💖
