Fetal Echo
Has anyone gone for a Fetal Echo for their baby? I went for my 20 week scan 2 weeks ago and they told me everything looks good but I need to go for a Fetal Echo to get a better look at the heart.. I've been thinking about it since and don't know if they are having me go because I'm high risk and want to take caution or if there is something wrong with the babies heart..
I think that's what I'm being referred for. The doctor said I'd need to see a cardiologist for her heart at 28 weeks. He's been watching her closely since 17 weeks. I'm labeled moderate to high risk due to a few factors and they are watching her heart closely, but things looked good at her 17 week and 21 week scans. I go in tomorrow for my 29 week scan and that is when they will determine whether or not we head to the cardiologist. I'll keep you and your baby in my prayers. Remember God has a plan that is so much bigger than our worries or fears.
I did..cuz I had a 2 vessel embilical cord instead of 3 vessels..so they just wanted to make sure everything els was ok...its normally just precautionary as far as iv heard...so dont worry unless they find something wrong in the eco..im sure it will all b fine
@Kate I hope everything goes well for you! Thank you ladies, I have my appt next month
Its just an ultrasound sound then is focused mainly on getting pictures of the baby's heart.
I have pre gestational diabetes so I have fetal echos every month. Most of the time its just a precaution. I hope everything goes well for you
I have to get one at 22 weeks due to being high risk. Not exactly sure the procedure is because I'm in week 16 and this is my first pregnancy.
It might just be because they couldnt get all the pictures they needed? I have had one fetal echo so far to look at an echogenic focus. Its a bright spot. I go back again this week (27weeks) to look at it again and rule out if it is a possible tumor which I am praying it is not. Its a simple procedure.
