Hi Liz.. My name is Maria and I'm about 20 weeks pregnant almost. I'am having a girl which is due on Feb. 13th. recently I had an ultrasound and sonogram and Doctors did mention that my unborn baby has the same problem such as "Echogenic Intracardiac foci" I know your question has nothing to do with my respond..but just by doing research on this it's really scary. I'm really concerned if I should fully do an amniocenthesis..which I'm sure you know the risk if it's performed. I'm wondering by reading responses and your notes..Is this something I should worry about? And just go on with amnio to make sure if in the future it will cause anything. As far as all my blood testing everything is "normal" I'm really scared and confused...I wouldn't want to go through what you're going through now. please help thanks!

: Hi. I hope to not make this to long
: winded here so please forgive me if
: I do. I am looking to find some kind
: of answers that I can understand,
: not all this mumbo jumbo.
:
: I have a 5 year old daughter. She is
: the youngest of 4. THe pregnancy was
: complacated due to preterm labor at
: 27 weeks, ultrasound showed an
: echogenicfoci and we had an amnio.
: I was told that all looked well. She
: saw a cardiologist at 2 weeks, we
: were told she had slight murmurs but
: not to worry about them. At 2 years
: she had double eye muscle surgery.
: We again said oh not a big deal
: since my brother was cross eyed. Now
: her eyes are again turning. The
: reason I took her to the ENT was to
: prove to everyone that her voice was
: normal and she would grow out of it.
: WRONG. I was told she had a bifed
: uvula and sent for testing. That
: showed a submucous cleft palate and
: today we spent the better part of
: the day in the Cranifacial Center.
: Here I found out that she has a
: substanial amount of fluid in the
: right ear and needs tubes. She has
: never showed signs of ear infection.
: I find out she is just barely in the
: 10% on height, at 5 she wears a size
: 3T. And now the genetic lady wants
: to have her evaluated for the 22q
: deletion. This will be done the end
: of November. She also goes back to
: see the surgeon that day to discuss
: the surgery for the cleft. Ent says
: he can wait til then to place the
: tubes but has put her on Singular
: til then. I guess what I am trying
: to find out if this could be
: connected to the 22 issue and what
: to ask and find out more about when
: I see the genetic center. Any info,
: suggestions, thoughts are so welcome
: right now.

: Thank you
