Echogenic focus... Experience please???😢

Question

So, my quad screen came back negative, 1 in 10,000 for downs, then i had my 20wk ultra sound and they said every thing looked fine but they did find a soft marker which was a bright spot on my baby girls heart, said it's a calcium deposit and usually clears up on its own and is very common in normal pregnancies, but could be a soft marker for downs, bit more then likely  because every thing else looked great and my quad screen was negative Its nothing to worry about, help ladies i need some input to put my mind at ease please

Answer

Doctors found the same thing on one of my twin baby girls' heart. They told me not to worry about it , as it doesn't affect the growth, doesn't cause any pain , etc. if that's the only marker they could find for downs then don't worry!

Answer

I had the same marker. It was the only one. My Daughter is perfectly healthy. We also had an increased risk of DS (1:30). Hope this helps 💖

Answer

My son had this on his 19 week scan but all my other tests were fine. I was very nervous about it too. It was explained to me that soft markers only matter when there are multiple ones. He is bright and healthy and will be 3 in April.

Answer

Coworker had this. Turned out to be a shadow from the U/s. Have them keep an eye on it or get a second opinion maybe with a high def u/s. Good vibes!!
