maybe birth defect

prettylilmama - 04:43pm Apr 24, 2009 EST

I am worried and scared......I had an ultrasound done and then went to the doctors later, I was told that during the ultrasound they could not see all 4 valves in the heart. They only could see two. What can this mean? The heart beat is fine when I go to the doctor every time. What if my baby has only 2 or there valves in his/her heart. Will he/she live. I have so many questions that I want answers for. iam worried and cant do anything about it. can anyone help with answers?

We will all be thinking of you and your daughter. Please do let us know what the Cardiologist says. I am sorry you are so scared, but we will all be here for you regardless of the results.

Love, Kelly
