I was told they had found an isolated echogenic focus at my 20 week scan but that I did not need to worry as it did not increase my risk of downs as it was on its own. All the same, I had another detailed scan which did not find any further markers. At 29 weeks a growth scan said growth was fine but the kidney was dilated (9mm). I was advised by a registrar that this was not a problem. I have just had a further scan at 35 weeks and the kidney is still dilated (10.4mm). I now understand this is another soft marker for downs and have got to have a further detailed scan next week. I am very worried by this and cant understand why I wasnt sent for another scan after my 29 week scan if it was an additional marker. I have had such a stressful pregnancy with all this and now the final few weeks are going to be a nightmare again with stress! And it's too late to do anything about anything. Any words of advice or encouragement would be appreciated as I'm really concerned now.
