Fetal Echo Posted: 10-15-03 03:56am
Dear raylias,
you have absolutely nothing to worry
about. A fetal echo is very simple and
nor you or bubby will suffer any pain in
the process. A fetal echo is just a
normal ultra sound, the only difference
will be that the person doing the ultra
sound will zoom right in on the fetal
heart and look at the heart beat rate etc.
A pediatric cardiologist will probably do
the ultra sound, as he/she will need to
know what they are looking for.
