Question : Hi doctor,
Hello Doctor,. My wife is pregnant ,her age is now 29. and at 23rd week of her pregnancy. Fetal 3d anomalies performed at 22nd week. The findings are:_ intrauterine pregnancy of 22week 3 days with echogenic focus LV , fullness of left pelvicalyceal system and normal blood flow. Further investigation to exclude down's syndrome. My question is do we need to worry about this.?. We are very tensed after our gynaecologist told us to wait for further investigation for down syndrome. The double marker was normL at the week of 10. Please suggest what should be done?
