[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many weeks were you when getting your fetal echo? I just had mine at 24 weeks at GW by a perinatologist from Children's Hospital. She mentioned that although they can be done anytime betwern 18 to 24 weeks, it's preferred to have them closer to the 24 week mark when the heart is more developed. [/quote]

Op here. 22 weeks. I didn't know that about 24 weeks...I thought the heart was already developed pretty early. That's helpful.[/quote]

When I went for my fetal echo for a baby naturally conceived bc my older has a heart defect, I had to wait until 28 weeks.  They might just need baby bigger to see for sure what is going on.  I was told that fetal hearts can have problems like holes that then close by themselves before birth - if we weren’t watching, we wouldn’t even know it happened.  So I wouldn’t assume your baby will have a heart problem at birth yet.  And, if she does, it might not impact her life much or at all, so don’t borrow trouble.   [/quote]

I was born with a hole in my heart.  I was scheduled to have surgery to repair it, and it had closed on it’s own.  I was 2 years old.[/quote]
