My baby girls spine. 21 weeks

Today just two hours ago I got a call and from my Doctor and she said that there is a possible concern. On Dec 4th I went and found out the gender of my baby and yay it was a girl but I guess they couldn't really get a picture of her spine or proving it was a girl BC she was moving. Well IG that they are thinking either one of two things. One being her spine is not developing or two being she just wasnt feeling very photogenic at that time.... Idk how to feel BC I don't want to be upset if there isn't anythingwrong but at the same time I ccan't be happy BC I don't know if something Is wrong or not. I go back in the 31st to get another ultra sounds. Any other mothers had baby concerns that turned out okay?

Daughter has spina abifida occulta which is ascary way of saying dimple above bottom with hairy back...sometimes certain tiny defects have big scary names but basically, she has no problem at all and is developping ahead of curve for motor skills...make sure you ask questions if a term is scary cause I freaked out for absolutely nothing.

Idk about the spine but I'm waiting for a fetal assessment bc the Dr found abnormalities in my baby's heart on my 20 week ultrasound.  Best thing to do is not worry bc it's bad for baby assessments just wait to find out for sure if anything is really wrong. Hope everything's fine
