Single Marker for DS

[dale17]

Hi I just had a level 2 ultrasound, I'm at 29 weeks and 2 days.. the reason that they sent me to a level2 ultrasound is that on my 1st they found a spot on the left ventricle of the baby's heart.during my visit today, seems like it was nothing to worry about. however, they mentioned that the baby's nasal bone was short and is a possible marker for down syndrome. I am Asian and my husband is asian too.. I'm 25 years old and he's 26, i want to know what are the odds? Can you explain further to me

I also read somewhere on line when I researched more about it and it said the spot in the heart which in my baby it was cvi deposit is very common and even more common in Asian people

I had something similar happen got sent to a level 2 ultrasound too because they found a calcium deposit in her heart which is a market for Down syndrome too they also check her nose an they said it looked fine but my blood did come out with 1 in 350 for Down syndrome, my husband is also Asian and our doctor is Asian too and she said that Asian people have short nasal bones so wouldn't worry to much about it I'm 21 and my husband is 24. I know how it feel I wanted to break down so bad but we just have to be positive.
