I had a friend that went through the same thing pretty much identical to Babyiish and her daughter came out completely fine. Don't stress....espeically if all other tests come back normal.
Chances are it'll go away or your baby will still be fine!

I was told the same thing 5 weeks ago. I was upset for a few days, but after researching the topic, I felt much better!
Just stay focused on what you can control!

My baby has calcium deposit in the heart....
I found out at 19weeks
I'm now 28 weeks & 1day
I did the blood test at 16 weeks 
Just the basic one and it came out normal 
Then I did the level 2 ultrasound and they found calcium deposit on the baby's heart at 19weeks
At 23 weeks I went to the genetic place 
To talk to the counselor and to do another ultrasound... 3d/2d
I decline the echo guide for amniocentesis 
I'm not letting them put no needles in my belly 
My baby looks fine on the ultrasound there are no other signs of DS 
And theirs a chance of miscarrying when you do that test 
I even ask them for pictures  
I'm not stress because no matter what happens I'm gonna love my baby  
Plus my chances are 1/10,000 for DS 

Best wishes & try not to stress
Xxxxxx

I hope everything works out perfect for you and your lil one...keep your head up & try not to stress especially if doc said your test was negative...get a second opinion if you must to put your mind at ease.

Try not to worry :). My son had an echogenic focus (calcium spot ) on his heart at 19 weeks.. I'm now 37weeks and the spot is long gone. If all other DS markers are absent, an echogenic focus is not considered an increased risk indicator of DS on it's own. If other markers aren't there, I wouldn't worry!

I am 22wks pregnant and am going through the exact same thing as well as my doctor saying the same thing, and I'm reacting the same way. This has worried me as well. Try not to stress too much its not good for us nor the babies but I hope we get better answers and reassuring results soon. I'm praying for the both of us. Sorry I couldn't be much help but know you're not alone.
