Echogenic bowel

I am 21 weeks pregnant and at the 20 week ultra sound the bowel appeared darker than usual. My baby has not been diagnosed with echogenic bowel as the darkness is lighter than usual echogenic bowel cases, but I have been told not to rule out that the baby has echogenic bowel. Echogenic bowel can mean the baby has down syndrome, cystic fibrosis, an infection or it could be nothing. There is a very low chance my baby ha DS as ive been tested but I have had blood taken to test if I am a carrier of CF or if the baby has an infection. I was just wondering if anyone else is or has been in this situation? has anyone else had their baby diagnosed with echogenic bowel? I am so worried and would love to chat to someone who has been or is currently going through this. Many thanks to anyone who replys

Hi there,

We've just moved this to antenatal tests, so you might get a few more responses.

Thanks
