based on fetal echo please explain the health condition of baby and mother
hello welcome to iclinq com basically report is normal and there is no evidence of any heart disease in the baby however since it is difficult to completely visualize the baby heart as it is small and deeply seated some diseases may be missed especially minors but at present there is no evidence of any disease and usually major diseases are not missed on fetal echo so nothing to worry at present about the report now I do not know why you mentioned down syndrome as there is no evidence of it in echo but routine ultrasound of the baby rather than echo is an investigation of choice for down syndrome so routine ultrasound of the baby called as malformation scan is necessary to rule out down syndrome also in down syndrome there are abnormalities in the heart as well but echo is fine so it is a negative factor for down syndrome but still ultrasound would be more reliable down syndrome has severe consequences on the baby rather than mother firstly because of various structural abnormalities which may be seen in various body parts requiring surgeries and baby will have developmental delays some mental retardation if it is detected earlier in the pregnancy then abortion may be done I hope this helps
