A lil worried

So after my 20week scan at my appt my midwife told me that they had seen a shadow around his heart and something that was unclear with the umbilical cord....now fast forward to today at my appt she told that I need to go in and get another u/s so they could get a closer look. Should I be worried?? I wasn't really before cuz it was looking like I wasn't gonna need another one but now that I do I can't help but be worried :(:(

At my 20 Weeks scan the tech saw a white spot on my baby heart they send me to have a level 2 scan to double check the white spot was still there so the send me to do a echo cardiogram(heart specialist) they check baby heart nd everything was fine..
So try not to worry cause it could be nothing nd they just want tk make sure everything is ok with your baby heart..

I wouldnt worry....with my first son they saw his kidneys were different sizes and they made me have a 2nd u/s done and 1 was still bigger....after he was born they checked him and hes a perfectly healthy baby.....ultrasounds arent a 100% . They do cast shadows n what not. Stay positive and  good luck!

It could just be the way the baby was positioned the first time.
