Echogenic foci

Currently 25 weeks pregnant at my anatomy scan at 21 weeks two echogenic intracardaic foci were seen in the left ventricle, was told about the increased risk of Down syndrome as it’s a soft marker so got the harmony test which came back as low risk. Had my follow up scan today and the foci are still there, the doctor said she can’t guarantee the baby won’t have a chromosome issue but my risk is low and back in another 4 weeks for a follow up scan. I asked about an amniocentesis but she wouldn’t recommend it. Has anyone had a low risk NIPT with soft markers and ended up with a healthy baby

Currently experiencing the same thing, mind is all over the place.

Do you mind me asking how everything turned out?

The low risk Harmony test does more or less guarantee that there isn't a chromosomal issue. It's over 99.9% accurate I think. Echogenic foci are really common. It sounds like the doctors are just being extremely thorough, but it's really unlikely that there is anything wrong.

@LottieWat22 Had a healthy baby with no issues apart from being a terrible sleeper hence replying at 5 in the morning 😂
