Echogenic intracardia focus

mummy2B

So at my sonogram appt a few days ago , I was informed by my doctor my baby has echogenic intracardia focus. Immediatly hearing this frightened me , no one wants to hear there baby has anything . But he assured me it was common in healthy children and that it simply meant a muscle shown up bright on the ultra sound however they use that as a possible inidcator for DS or down syndrome . I started to panic I thought oh god if my baby has ds what will I do , raising a baby alone is tough but a baby with serious medical needs is serious, he tried to calm me by saying that just because he saw this dosent mean the baby has ds. But it certainly dosent mean she dosent either which is what I want . I am very scared I'm trying to stay positive and happy and excited but until I have my baby and they tell me she is healthy all 10 fingers and toes and no abnormalities I am gonna be a wreck

Just try to remember, a lot of people with downs( still hoping that isn't the case tho) live very productive normal lives just like everyone else.
