Has anyone had this?

Question

I went today for my 18 week ultrasound. My genetic testing at 10 weeks came back normal. Today my baby was belly down, so it was hard for them to see everything with her heart. They want me to come back for a follow up ultrasound. The only thing they did see as far as the heart was an Echogenic Intracardiac Focus (EIF) which is a small bright spot seen on a developing baby’s heart during an ultrasound.
The cause of EIF is unknown, but the condition is generally harmless. Has anyone had this?

Answer

My baby has this too. NIPT came back all negative for abnormalities so my dr said she is basically not worried at all. She said sometimes they do another ultrasound at 32 weeks to see if it went away and most of the time it does. Right there with ya. It’s hard not to think about it.

Answer

My son had this when I was pregnant with him, and it went away as he grew. My OB explained that, with imaging technology getting more precise, it is fairly common to show up on early ultrasounds and usually nothing to be concerned about! My son is now a happy, healthy almost 4 year old!
