Re: Level 2 Ultrasound scheduled. Should I be concerned?
Long story short: everything worked out just fine with the Level 2. There were no other abnormalities which means that the white spot is a exactly what it is: a calcium buildup at a spot on the wall of the heart.
Whenever this spot shows up on an ultrasound they send the mother to a Level 2 because this white spot is very common in babies who are born with Down's. But 97+% of fetuses who have this spot end up perfectly healthy. Usually there are other signs if the baby is in fact at high risk for it.
So the DOCTOR was not concerned whatsoever. When asked if this spot has the potential to develop into any kind of heart abnormality she replied "no." When I asked the same question 2 more times but phrased differently she again said "no."
Thank you all for getting me to calm down when inside I was confused and worried.
BTW, we have some 3D ultrasound pics of him. They are the most amazing and wonderful photos I have ever seen in my entire life...and it's not even close.
