T&P needed and late intro

So...I have mainly been a lurker on this board and have never posted simply bc I do all of my bumping on my cell....but I decided after my scary appointment this morning that I really needed support. I am a FTM, 27 yrs old and 20 weeks along. At our u/s this morning the dr noticed 3 markers that gave him concern. The baby did not appear to have a nasal bone and had calcifications in the heart and abdomen. Otherwise everything looked fine. We are being sent for further testing but have nothing scheduled as of yet. I'm trying to stay calm but finding it difficult as there are too many 'what ifs' right now. We never went through any genetic testing or blood testing that is sometimes done by this point. Any thoughts, prayers, advice or reassurance would be greatly appreciated.
Also-I'm sure I've left out information so please feel free to ask any questions.

I had a very similar experience with my A/S. They found 3 markers, including the bright spot on the heart (which I later found out is super common- about 5% of babies have them). I don't know as much about the nasal bone thing, but it sounds like they're trying to rule out cleft lip/palate? That's not a good thing, but it's also not life threatening and modern medicine is good at correcting it. I hope they can rule that out at your follow up though.
One of the best things I did this pregnancy was getting the MaterniT21 blood test. Having answers gave me a lot of peace of mind. It came back clear for genetic problems for me, but I think even if my LO had an issue, knowing would have been helpful and I could have switched my energy to preparing rather than worrying. Uncertainty is hard for me to deal with, and there's enough of that with pregnancy already. Hopefully getting further testing and more info will help you too.
I still have to keep doing follow up ultrasounds (one of my kiddo's markers was enlarged kidneys, and unfortunately they're getting worse, so we may need to see a specialist after he's born.) On the bright side, it's more chances to see the little guy spazzing out in there. I really enjoy ultrasounds.
