Calcium Deposit in Baby's Heart..How common is this?

MissTanya · Nov 10th, 2009, 05:06 AM

Hello! I had an anomaly scan yesterday (at 21 weeks) and Baby is healthy (too healthy...is an extra BIG baby) and all is looking great, though she did show me that baby has a calcium deposit in the heart.

I was assured that this is somewhat common and posses no risk to the baby. Apparently in the "old" days, they would take this as a sign that there is something wrong with baby. I was told there was never enough evidence and that as long as there are no other calcium deposits found elsewhere in bubs, then everything is considered normal and healthy.

I wanted to know how common this was and how many of you have had similar??? Have you been told anything different or have any information on calcium deposits???

I appreciate your replies. xxx
