Drving my self crazy

I am 22 weeks pregnant. Last week I had my 21 week u/s the tech seemed concerned about the 4 chambers of the heart. So the next day I called my dr's office and they said the way the baby was positioned they could not see the 4 chambers of the heart so it just means I will have to repeat the u/s and the appt will be made at my next obgyn appt on Jan 8. I am just going crazy is it possible the baby was lying in a position that you can not see the heart chambers with my daughter who is 19 months we had no problems. Also now I am on plavix due to a minor 50% blockage in my neck (hardeing of the arties) I have been taking the plavix all this time my obgyn said it is fine because it is a category b  pill for pregnancy.  I guess my 2 questions are is it possible the baby is in a position at the u/s time that the 4 chambers could not be seen. And has anyone taken plavix and had a baby

We don't deliver babies! We're a crisis pregnancy center (like a pro-life version of Planned Parenthood, except we do not do any clinical procedures other than preg. tests). The following information is what I keep finding about it on the Net:

The effects of Plavix during pregnancy have not been adequately studied. If you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant, inform your doctor immediately. Use Plavix during pregnancy only if absolutely necessary. Do not breastfeed while taking Plavix, since the drug may appear in breast milk.

Hopefully someone else here will have more information for you!!!

thank you, I am just so scared. The pregnancy center you work at, has anyone been on plavix and delivered a baby there?

It is possible for the baby to be in a position where a tech cannot see clearly. Just see what happens at the follow-up ultrasound! Hopefully everything will be just fine.
