re: Experience with Ultrasound Findings?

I agree with everything you said. This was actually a level 2 ultrasound with a high risk doctor because of something completely different and unrelated the first doctor thought they MIGHT have seen. This doctor immediately ruled that out, but did point this out to us. It was the high risk dr that actually pointed it out to us, so I'm confident that she was right, but she did say multiple times that no other markers were found and that this, by itself, is a very very soft marker.
They told us without any of the previous testing, based on age alone, our risk was like 1/850 and that doubled the risk, so maybe like .25%. But that is without any other testing done. We could have been in the same 1/5,000 type boat that you guys were in and this would bring it down to 1/2500.
Logically, I know the odds are very much in our favor that our baby boy will be fine and healthy, it's just so difficult to tell yourself that emotionally though.

I don't know anything about it but I know how nervous I was for every ultrasound and we didn't have any issues.
I know the smallest thing would have driven me crazy.
Hope it's nothing, best of luck.

IF there was any reason to be concerned, the doctor would have made it clear to you to be concerned. The only reason she pointed it out was so no one could say she missed something in the very slim chance that she would be wrong.

I understand completely. Just focus on the fact that it is a 99.75% chance your baby is just fine. I told my wife that it was our first challenge as parents and we had to prepare ourselves b/c these things will happen throughout the kid's life.
