Further investigations required.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Thanks for trusting us about your healthcare.
I have gone through your history and understand your concern.
Mild ventricular enlargement with out any other pathology in foetus usually not indicate any chromosomal abnormalities.
But to be on safer side,we have to go for further investigation like second level ultrasound.
Continuous monitoring is required in your case.
