Suboptimal heart on a/s

I had my a/s at 20 weeks yesterday.  Baby was active. Basically ob came after tech was done showed us the 4 chamber heart view on the screen, said the right ventricle looks slight bigger than left, but not 100% sure and he wanted to refer us to get a fetal echo. Since then I cannot sleep or think im so nervous. Anyone with this experience? 

Re: Suboptimal heart on a/s

  • My eldest was born with a congenital heart defect. 1/100 people are born with them - but only 25% of those end up needing surgery. Our daughter was in the 25%- it was a hard road but she is a healthy normal 5 year old. 

    My mantra was to not worry (or google) until there was a for sure diagnosis. The echo will give lots of information.

    best wishes- hang in there.
