I am 33 yrs old , and i am a balane translocation 14,21 carrier.

I have already lost 3 babies due to this issue.

with this pregnancy, which happened on it own as well , everything was going alright, and we did CVS on my 11-12 weeks and the results came back normal, and my baby girl had my balance translocation but she is completely normal geneticly.

few days ago, i was 19 weeks,4 days, I had to go for my sec trimester ultrasound, and we were so excited to see our baby. Everything looks good , measurments are fine. baby is doing good, moving and everything, but the technision couldnt see the spine completely due to the baby position.everything else was great. the heart , the brain everythin. I was so happy and we made the announcment that we are having a baby girl.

Today I got a call from my ob/gyn and she said that she noticed an echogenic bowel, which is usually a soft marker for down syn, but as we did the CVS testing already, so she is not worried about that.

I had cyctic fibrosis test done already me and my husband and its negative, so she ordered the CMV blood work to rule out the infection .

i am pretty sure i do not have the infection. I have to wait till tomorrow to know for sure though .. But am very worried !

What could that be? could it be something serious?? I am very sad and just want to cry... I wanted to really enjoy this pregnancy without them picking up more problems for me !

she said that I have to do a follow up ultrasound in 2-3 weeks, jut to check the spine completely and recheck if the echogenic bowel are still there.

please help me , I am so confused ! the CVS testing could not bw wrong .. Right ???? Especially that genetic counselor told me that the biopsy report says the growth was from placenta cells.


Please help
