Soft Marker at 20 Sono
Hi Ladies. Happy New Year to you all. I have been MIA for a few weeks to spend Christmas overseas with family. The day i was leaving we had the 20 week sono and was looking forward to starting the holidays in great spirits. However that didnt quiet happen. I am sorry for the essay but i am looking to see if anyone had any similar experiences with a happy outcome.
We had the sono and the tech said everything looked great and baby measuring on target etc. Then i waited for the doctor as usual for the final word. She came in and said they needed to look at something again. There are soft markers on the Intestines. She really frightened me with all the bad things it can be. She said that it can be a sign of downs. But with all my other tests she does not think it is as i am still only 1:10,000 with this marker. She said it could be Cystic Fibrosis but again my doc confirmed that i have been cleared for this. She said it could be an infection such as Toxoplasmosis etc. So i went to my doc and did the blood test asap to confirm or rule this out and Thankfully we got the all clear on that. She is telling me i need to be monitored once a month going forward which i do not mind as long as my baby is healthy and they are being proactive. My Doctor said that i should not be worried as this does not mean anything as the baby is still growing and all other tests etc are great. Anyone have anything similar happen?? I am trying not to worry and just enjoy this pregnancy but it is always on my mind. 18 weeks to go until i hope my healthy little bundle is in my arms.
I go back on the 21st for another sono and i hope all is good. Thanks ladies for letting me get this out.

Re: Soft Marker at 20 Sono
I'm glad they never really looked at my kids toes, as they are overlapping (soft marker for other genetic syndromes). He's totally normal... well... as normal as a 2 year old can be.
Good luck... I hope it's just a finding that doesn't effect your baby.
